The viewer's guide to the Ryder Cup: hole-by-hole breakdown of Bethpage Black

How many Ryder Cup matches will reach the 17th hole at Bethpage?

OPENING SHOT: Down the first hole in early morning practice for the Ryder Cup. It's USA's Ben Griffin on the tee.

Hole 1 (Par 4, 397 yards)

The tee shot from an elevated position bends to the right but with trees lining that side of the fairway, an approach from the left is preferable. The green is the smallest on the course. Bunkers guard it on both sides, including a deep one on the right, and its front slopes sharply.
