This downhill par 5 will be a handsome conclusion to the opening nine holes. The vista of the valley backdrop will encourage the player to take out the driver, open the shoulders and position the ball on the fairway which is surrounded by water on the right and bunkers on the left. Finding a fairway bunker will force the player to choose the lay-up shot as the lip is daunting. The fairway undulations are deceptive as valleys will shorten the perception of the distance to the green. The penalty for an errant blow could be a watery fate as the green is protected on the right by a lake.

Rose wanted to encourage the use of the longest club in the bag and give the player the joy of a downhill drive in one of the most scenic locations in the world of golf. He emphasised that the greenside lake should be clearly visible from a distance as he feels that being able to see the hazards focuses the mind.
