00:29Crowds roar around the second-to-last hole, amplifying pressure.

00:39Hole 3. At 230 yards, this par 3 demands a pure long iron to a diagonal sand-guarded green.

00:47Going long is disastrous, turning routine pars into scrambling bogeys. For pros, it's still a true test.

01:42Hole 10. At 502 yards, hole 10 is a par 4 monster guarded by 6 bunkers around the landing zone.

02:09during the Ryder Cup. Hole 15. Bethpage's ultimate challenge. A 478-yard par 4 with a narrow fairway,

02:184-inch rough, and an elevated two-tiered green ringed by massive bunkers. Even reaching the
