The second leg of Amen Corner is Golden Bell. Wind is the primary concern on this par 3 that crosses Rae’s Creek. The angle of the hole means that the water is very much in play, and smart players will aim for the center of the green, no matter the pin position.
The bridge on the left side is the Hogan Bridge, named for Ben Hogan, and is one of the main landmarks on the course.
“Hopefully, there’s no wind. That wind, they did studies on it and it’s called the ‘eddy effect,’ where the wind speeds up because of the trees and everything. If you get a gust, it actually doubles the speed, but you just don’t know it. That’s why you see balls come up short and you’re like, ‘Did that guy really just misclub by two clubs?’“
“Just get it on the green.”
The hole was formerly named Three Pines.
