The tree with the huge branch that overhangs the tee was, amongst other things, called sinister’ by Ernie Els who infamously clattered his ball into it in 2010 and “unnecessarily annoying” by Graeme McDowell .

The PGA Tour refers to the 500,000 lb tree as “diabolical” on its own website before explaining how this nifty piece of reforestation has restored an iconic feature of Pete Dye’s original design.
