When it comes to iconic par-three holes in golf, there are few so widely known and discussed as the 17th at TPC Sawgrass.
It tests and terrifies the world's best annually at The Players, with the green - other than one small path - completely surrounded by water and with wind swirling around the grandstands.
This hole has witnessed plenty of memorable moments, including Tiger Woods' 'better than most' putt and some 14 holes-in-one, while Cameron Young's birdie putt proved crucial there during his one-shot win over playing partner Matt Fitzpatrick on Sunday.
It's a bucket-list shot and course for amateurs to take on, but what is it like to play TPC Sawgrass as a 28-handicapper? Less than 14 hours after Young tapped in for a winning par and a $4.5m first prize, I was fortunate enough to do just that.
