There is nothing to see there.

I was in that spot a few years ago and just happened to look over toward 16 just in time to see Matt Kuchar make a hole in one.

It is a great spot but it's difficult to say that there is any one spot that is the best. I was sitting behind the twelfth tee a number of year ago when Freddie Couples won and saw the shot that stayed up on the bank.

I also like a couple of holes that don't seem to get mentioned vert often. Four and five are brutal. I like to stand by the left side of the fifth green and watch the approach shots and putting. That green is one of the most diabolical on the course. Then you can look over and watch the tee shots on the famous par three sixth.

By the way, a friend of mine's son played a couple of years ago and he made birdies on four and five then parred six. He stunk up the rest of the round after getting through maybe the toughest stretch of the golf course.
