Hole-by-hole view of Shinnecock Hills for the US Open

Sean Quinlivan, the head pro at Shinnecock Hills, has analyzed for The Post how the 156 players in the field at the U.S.Open should play each hole.The 51-year-old Quinlivan, who grew up in the southwest of Ireland, has been the head pro at Shinnecock for the past five years after spending the previous 12 years at Piping Rock on Long Island.Here’s his hole-by-hole look at the 7,440-yard, Par 70 championship course, which is hosting its sixth U.S.

Open:Par 4, 399 yards“This is a pretty soft opening hole, relatively speaking.The guys will hit out there around 250 and it plays downhill.

Just get something in the fat of the fairway and that’s going to leave them about 100 to 130 yards in.It’s a kind of low-stress opening hole.’’Par 3, 252 yards“After you get an easy hole on No.

1, then you get right into it on Hole 2, which is a big-boy par 3.It’ll play anywhere from 230 to 260 yards for the event.

It’s a pretty severe green.There’s some runoff on the back and a false front, especially on the front right of the green.

Take par here and move on.”Par 4, 501 yards“This is a big one — roughly 500 yards, slight dogleg left.It does help with the prevailing wind, and there’s a pretty nice downslope out there starting at 315 yards that kind of pinches out to the right.

If you can catch that, you’ll pick up an extra 50 or 60 yards of roll.Hitting the fairway here is a premium.

It’s a pretty severe green, a lot of runoff right and left on the front half.Distance control is quite important.

It’s a tough two-putt — a deceivingly difficult putting green.”Par 4, 476 yards“This is a good driving hole.To create the best angle on this green, it’s best if you can hug the left half of the fairway.

There are two bunkers out there — one starting at 270 yards and the second at 320 — and those will get some action.This is a beautiful green, a lot of slope left to right with runoff all the way around, like a reverse saucer.

Anything middle...
