The golf world mourned the death of Pete Dye earlier this month, although the legendary architect’s legacy lives on at this week’s PGA Tour stop. But if the first round of the American Express is any indication, Dye certainly isn’t done giving fits to even the best golfers in the world.

The tournament’s PGA West Stadium Course yielded some low scores in perfect conditions on Thursday, but danger lurks at the Palm Springs track, particularly left of the 16th green. Well, left and below the 16th green. Way, way below.
