Watch: Steve Scott breaks down two key holes at Southern Hills for 2022 PGA Championship

The 104th PGA championship has come to Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The second and the 12th are two key holes on the golf course, which is playing as a par 70 and measuring 7,365 yards this week.

The second hole is a 500-yard par 4 that plays as the No. 1-handicap hole for the membership. It requires about a 230-yard carry just to reach the fairway on the other side of the creek, making it one of the more demanding holes off the tee. What also makes this tee shot very difficult is the predominant left to right southerly wind.

The 12th hole is a 456-yard par 4 that has a dogleg to the left. There is a creek that meanders its way behind the green and can prove problematic for those coming in from the right rough. The 12th is a Perry Maxwell gem for sure.

This 104th PGA Championship is gonna be a tremendous test for the world’s best players. Let’s see who takes home that Wanamaker Trophy this week.
