MELBOURNE - Royal Melbourne’s composite course has been a happy hunting ground for United States captain Tiger Woods and his Internationals counterpart Ernie Els but both skippers will urge caution when their players tee off at the Presidents Cup.
The firm conditions of the ‘sandbelt’ track mean risk-takers are invariably punished for the slightest of transgressions, however, ensuring strategy will be key as teams plot their way through the intrigue of matchplay.“There’s a bit of fire in the reaction of the ball. So if you don’t approach from the right spot, you won’t get it close to the pin.A number of players found that to their cost at the 2011 Presidents Cup at the venue, where the wind kicked up and made the greens flint-hard.
With the West course designed by renowned architect Alister MacKenzie, players may see elements of the Scot’s work at Augusta National as they negotiate deep bunkers and greens with subtle slopes and speed. Both Els and Woods visited last year to offer suggestions for the set-up and were, more or less, on the same page.
The shorter par fours at the 6th, 11th and 13th holes are a chance for players to steal a march on their opponents — or crash and burn.
