Clinging precariously to the cliffs of Carmel Bay, the 18th boasts a history of high drama, U.S. Open style. Says Jack: "There isn't a more breathtaking finishing hole in golf."Oakmont Country Club - Oakmont, PennsylvaniaHome of nearly 200 bunkers. Jack calls it "maybe the toughest course in the world."
