Hole of the day, No. 17

* Background: This hole served as No. 18 the last time the U.S. Open was played at Congressional in 1964, and it served as the decisive hole Sunday as well. The daunting green, surrounded by water, shaggy rough and bunkers, had the pin tucked left close to the shaved slope that feeds toward the water.

* Stroke average: 4.488.

* Rank: 1.

* Key fact: Ernie Els hit a five-iron for a two-putt par to stay in the lead at four under. Colin Montgomerie missed a five-foot par putt and fell one stroke behind. Tom Lehman, needing a birdie, hit a seven-iron into the water for bogey.

Yardage: 480

Par: 4
