Aon Insight
A relatively straightforward par five, the 14th at Detroit Golf Club allows the most powerful players in the field an opportunity to separate themselves from the pack. For every extra yard off the tee, a player is 1% more likely to go for this green (protected by water left) in two. An extra 20 yards with the drive is worth, on average, 0.15 strokes over the field. In 2022, Tony Finau decided on driver here all four rounds, averaging more than 318 yards with his tee shots. He went for the green in two each day and carded birdie in each round, on his way to victory.
