Justin Thomas looks to defend PGA Championship title at Oak Hill
May 18, 2023 09:16AM ● By Ryan Wall
Oak Hill Country Club, established in 1901 and designed by the legendary Donald Ross, has seen some of the most memorable moments in golf history. Its tight fairways, strategically placed hazards, and undulating greens have consistently tested the skills of players across generations, making Oak Hill a worthy setting for major championships. The championship layout demands accuracy off the tee to navigate narrow fairways, while approach shots must contend with well-guarded greens that punish errant shots. Oak Hill's rough and treacherous bunkers add an additional layer of challenge, requiring precise shot-making and course management. The par-4 14th hole, known as "Fairy Knowe," features a demanding tee shot that must navigate a tree-lined fairway before players face a challenging approach shot to an elevated green. The par-3 15th hole, named "Briar Patch," demands an accurate tee shot over a deep valley to a well-protected green, where missing the target can result in a difficult recovery.
