The second hole is a tough par 4 that should play around 400 yards at the 2017 Solheim Cup. A soft dogleg left, players will have to drive the ball accurately into a left sloping fairway. Shots hit to the right side of the fairway offer the best angle to hit the left sloping green. However, players will have to avoid the right-side fairway bunker at the turn.
The large green presents more challenges. Pins placed on the right side will set up the hole for long uphill putts. The left side of the green is guarded by a bunker and the green slopes from right to left toward it, setting up fast downhill putts from the center of the green.
See captains Juli Inkster and Annika Sorenstam lead the best women golfers from the U.S. and Europe through Hole Number 2 at Des Moines Golf and Country Club. Get your tickets now for the 2017 Solheim Cup, August 14-20!
