This is a born-again hole, the outcome
of much agonising and deliberation plus the inputs, separately,
of Seve Ballesteros and Roger Rulewich, not to mention prodigious
feats of engineering.
The hole used to be not much more than a long, long par 5. Now
the second shot presents the player with a tantalising question:
should he try to carry the water for a birdie or eagle, or should
he lay up? (In the 1995 Volvo Masters, Miguel Angel Jimenez scored
the first albatross of his life here, and the first that Valderrama
had ever seen.)
The high stone wall to the right of the second landing area is
a true gabion, just as they were built centuries ago, usually as
part of a fortification. It acts as a retaining wall and also provides
a spectacular viewing platform.
