Update:

Designed by Scott Miller in the early 90s, water taxis bring players to the green which varies between 95 and 200 yards from the tee.

Matthew Fitzpatrick, 18, said in his post victory interview with Jessica Marksbury following the victory at the 2013 U.S. Amateur Championship:

Watch out Rory.
