The 18th hole at Harbour Town links is one of golf’s iconic finishing holes, but how does it compare with others on the PGA Tour?

The 472-yard par-four is one of the toughest closing holes on tour, where it's used during the RBC Heritage, despite offering a massive fairway to find off the tee.

Wayne Riley said during commentary at February's Genesis Open that Rivera Country Club's eighth hole was the widest par-four fairway he had even seen, but how does it match up with Harbour Town's final hole?

We sent Nick Dougherty to measure the 18th fairway at Hilton Head, where he thinks the 88-yard fairway may be the widest we have seen on the golf circuit.
