Pinehurst No. 2

A Peaceful Twilight Round on Pinehurst No. 2

Par 72 | 6,966 yards

Donald Ross spent decades at Pinehurst refining No. 2, convinced he’d never quite finished. The crowned greens that deflect anything short of a perfect approach, the sandy waste areas restored by Gil Hanse in 2011, the long corridors of Carolina longleaf pine. All of it adds up to what many consider the definitive American golf course, and one of its most decorated U.S. Open venues.

TGJ Key Accounts Manager Mark Warman is a +4.1 who still plays like the Tour professional he used to be. In the latest Playing 18, he took a twilight loop around No. 2 as the last light fell through the pines. Pinehurst at dusk has a particular kind of quiet. Watch and see what he did with it.
