It is rated at a Par 70, and Its longest holes are numbers 3, 7, and 16. Hole number 3 is 554 yards par 5, and most professionals will tell you Eagle is tough to attempt, hole number 7 is 482-yard par 4, and hole number 16 is another monster par 5 at 530 yards.
Zalatoris is one of the more exciting golfers on this year’s tour. He is both humble and gracious on the course. He is never seen angry on the course or in front of his fans. This doesn’t mean he never gets frustrated enough during a round. It just shows what type of player he is. He is very approachable on tour. Zalatoris never is afraid to talk to the press about his play during a particular round. Whether good or bad, he answers all questions that we know about and is very generous to his fans as he understands what being a professional golfer truly means.
