Par 4 - 436 / 418 / 404 yards - Handicap 1 / 1

On paper, the most difficult hole on the front 9 at Torrey Pines North, but only because of its deceiving yardage. Actually it's easier than #7. It usually plays downwind, its fairway is wide and you can only get into real trouble if you hook one bad off the tee or on your approach. The green slopes from back to front, which happens to be also the direction of the grain, and to the left. It's very receptive to long iron shots. Don't miss the green long, or too far right.
