The course designer likes to set up the course to play the exact opposite of what the players are use to. Par threes that take drivers to reach in the woods and par fours where the design is to play mid/putter or even putter/putter. To make it even worse, the possibility of a 550' eagle on a dogleg left or right actually plays into many players minds. Watch the commentary of hole 9 last year. Uli actually says any of these players have the skill to throw mid/mid to get the Birdie easily, yet the flight is so tempting. And the best part, Uli is the only player to Eagle the hole and in the same tournament double bogey it.
