Or he holes the sand shot! OK, I guess I like this hole.

I'm definitely a fan of setting up a course for Sunday excitement. Look at what happened with the Masters on Sunday on the back 9. One of the best finishes I've ever witnessed. I say, make the pin placements the first 3 days tough, then make them accessible on Sunday. With the pressure of being in a major on Sunday, it'll make it that much more difficult but those that can handle the pressure should be rewarded.
