Episode 1: Tony Finau and the par-5 18th at TPC Twin Cities

What does it take to reach a risk-reward par 5 around water in two? According to Tony Finau, threading the needle off the tee so that you’re left with a short iron into the green. The finishing hole at TPC Twin Cities puts his theory to the test.

Episode 3: Yu Liu and the par-5 18th at Seaview Golf Club

Few finishing holes in professional golf set up for more drama than the 507-yard 18th at the Seaview Golf Club in Galloway, N.J., home of the LPGA Tour's Shoprite Classic. Here, Tour star Yu Liu talks about the importance of taking all the variables into consideration (especially the wind) on a hole like this, which is decidedly reachable in two but can spell disaster if you don't thread the needle off the tee.
