Is there a party hole at the American Century Championship?
There sure is: the par-3 17th at Edgewood. It runs along the beach and is filled with music, fans, boats, booze, footballs, basketballs, and so much more that you don’t typically see at a regular golf tournament. It’s become the signature spot for spectators and players alike.
