On the plaque that greets players when they reach the start of the Bear Trap -- holes 15, 16 and 17 at the Champions course at PGA National -- is a quote from the Golden Bear himself, Jack Nicklaus, the namesake of the three-hole stretch.
"It should be won or lost right here," writes Nicklaus.
If that's indeed the case, then the players in The Honda Classic who have performed well at the Bear Trap in previous years should be feeling good about their chances this week.
Here's a look at how each player in this week's field has fared in the famous three-hole stretch at PGA National (RTP means Relative to Par).
As you can see, only one player is under par in his career at the Bear Trap -- Luke Donald, who enters this week's tournament fresh off his win at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.
