• If your tee shot goes left, the pine trees in the center of the fairway will become a stymy, so it's essential to keep your tee shot on the right side of the fairway. If you hit it too far, you'll also have to worry about the bunker on the left.

In 2005, B. Watson's tee shot was 380 yards.

• Because the back is wide, the green looks close at first glance, but depending on the wind direction it can be 2 to 3 clubs away, so a sense of distance is important.
• The bunkers on both sides of the green are deep, so depending on the pin position you'll want to play your tee shot in a defensive and offensive manner.

In 2017, Hideki Matsuyama hit his first professional hole-in-one.

• It's the longest hole and it's difficult to get on in two.
• The green is backed by ridges, but if you hit the ball into the bunker on the left, the pine trees will get in the way, so this is a long hole that requires accurate shots.

• The green has a ridge in the center, requiring a delicate touch.
• The approach from the guard bunker in front is difficult, so be careful not to enter it.

• The tee shot is affected by crosswinds, so calculating this is key.
• There is a huge ridge in the center of the green, which is divided into four sides to be exact, so unless you land it on the same side as the pin, your chances are slim, making this a particularly difficult par 3 hole.

2006: Shingo Katayama makes a long putt for a birdie

• If you hit your tee shot into the bunker, you will have a hard time because the lip is high.
• If you can hit the ball to the left of the fairway bunker on the right, you can aim for a two-on shot, but since the green is only about 15 yards deep, many players use a club that makes it easier to stop the ball on the green.

2001: D. Duval's tee shot went out of bounds to the left, but he made it on the green in four and one putt for par.

• The best position for the tee shot is to hit straight towards the pine trees on the right side.
• If the pin is at the back or on the very edge of the green, you need to be careful not to put too much spin on the ball because the green is steep.

In 2007, Ryo Ishikawa's tee shot hit a pine branch in the right rough and was lost.

• The fairway slopes to the right, so you'll want to hit a straight shot to the center or left side of this hole.
• The green slopes sharply to the right, so if you hit the ball into the bunker on the front left, it will be difficult to make a bunker shot.
