The penultimate hole at Pinehurst No. 2 is a test of nerve and precision. Its crowned green, a signature of Donald Ross, repels all but the most accurate approaches. The sandy waste areas and natural contours embody the course’s rugged elegance. As you stand over your shot, the history of champions past lingers in the air, reminding you that every stroke here carries the weight of legacy.

Actually, the famous stretch of golf holes — Nos. 11, 12 and 13 at Augusta National Golf Club — had been in existence for 25 years.
But a catchy nickname for the three holes didn’t exist until Herbert Warren Wind, the golf writer for Sports Illustrated, came up with the term to describe the action in 1958.
