This is a picture of a hole that no longer exists in its original form. Linda Hartough painted Medinah's 13th, a long par 3 over an arm of Lake Kadijah, as the first of her U.S. Open course paintings, for the 1990 championship. The redesign has since replaced it.

Medinah No. 3 has hosted the U.S. Open three times, in 1949, 1975 and 1990. In 1990 Hale Irwin, then 45, holed a long birdie putt on the final green and ran a lap of celebration before winning a playoff. The course hosted the PGA Championship in 1999 and 2006, both won by Tiger Woods, and the 2012 Ryder Cup, when the European team came back from four points down on the final day. In September 2026 it hosts the Presidents Cup, with play from September 24 to 27.

The 13th Hole, Medinah holds a particular place in Linda Hartough's work. The USGA commissioned her in 1989 to paint the first of 25 U.S. Open course paintings, and the 13th at Medinah was the first painting completed, for the 1990 U.S. Open.
