2. An easier stretch of final holes: The final few holes have played the toughest all week, but their fourth-round set-up has yielded more birdies. The last five holes rank as the 11th, fifth, 13th, 15th and 10th most difficult on the East Course. The par-5 17th is playing slightly under par (it has given up 12 birdies and nine bogeys during the fourth round). And whereas players previously averaged nearly a stroke over par on the finishing hole, they have averaged 4.2 strokes during the fourth round.
