We are one week away from what's being called “the biggest golf event ever." The United States' best golfers will take on the European all-stars at Bethpage’s Black Golf Course.

Bethpage Black Golf Course's director of golf has an overview of Hole #17, a difficult par 3 that is considered the course’s signature hole.

What makes the hole difficult is the wind is mostly left to right, and the green is only 43 yards wide by 12 yards deep. That makes it very hard to hit this green.

In front of the green are very cavernous deep bunkers. A lot of shots are going to end up in there.

If the matches make it to this hole, it could be the deciding hole.
