This year they’ve refocused their attentions on the 13th – and it could have a big say on the outcome of future tournaments.

Speculation about lengthening the iconic par 5 has been rife for several years. It’s been that way ever since Bubba Watson found the green in two with a driver-wedge during the final round of his victory in 2014.
