MORE: Interactive Kodak Challenge Scorecards
The Kodak Challenge is a first-of-its-kind competition for PGA TOUR players, who must play at least 18 of the 30 Kodak Challenge holes to be eligible to win. A player's lowest score relative to par on his best 18 Kodak Challenge holes will be counted. The player with the lowest cumulative score relative to par wins $1 million and the Kodak Challenge trophy.
THIS WEEK: No. 14 at Shaunghnessy Golf & Country Club -- 315 yards, Par 4
This is a short, deceptive par-4 requiring sound judgment and accuracy. Long hitters may gamble with the driver, but the percentage play is to accurately place the tee shot in the center of the fairway. Players should avoid underplaying the second shot to this long narrow, sloping green.
