British Open champion Stewart Cink, the 2008 winner of the Travelers Championship, called the closing holes “four of the most exciting finishing holes in a group anywhere in the world.” Within that grouping is a three-hole stretch known as the “Golden Triangle,” composed of holes 15-16-17 and situated around a four-acre pond that dictates a variety of strategic choices.
Article during last years PGA Travelers Tournament about the "Golden Triangle"
The course is widely respected by Tour players, particularly because of it’s challenging finishing stretch. British Open champion Stewart Cink, the 2008 winner of the Travelers Championship, called the closing holes “four of the most exciting finishing holes in a group anywhere in the world.” Within that grouping is a three-hole stretch known as the “Golden Triangle,” composed of holes 15-16-17 and situated around a four-acre pond that dictates a variety of strategic choices.
Of these, the 296-yard par-4 15th hole might be one of the most exciting in tournament golf. Players have the option of attempting to drive the green, but water lurks perilously close to the green on the left and bunkers protect the right side. Laying up with an iron still requires accuracy to avoid left fairway traps. On the way to victory in 1995, Greg Norman attempted to drive the green, landed in the bunker, but then splashed out and into the cup for an eagle.
The 16th is a short par-3, measuring a mere 175 yards, though hitting the green can be very challenging, while the par-4 17th traditionally ranks among the hardest on the course. The 433-yard par-4 18th provides a strong finish, where many tournaments have been decided.
