## Resource

What if the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills ends in a tie? The playoff format—two holes (17 and 18) with aggregate scoring, then sudden death if needed—is brand new, never tested in a real tournament. Hole 17, “Rabbit’s Foot,” is a par-three trap with a narrow green, while Hole 18, “Home,” is a brutal par-four that plays back toward the clubhouse. Designed for a swift, dramatic finish, this modern twist could turn into a nerve-wracking sudden-death battle—just like the old 18-hole showdowns, but faster and more intense.
