“A great par-3 at this stage of the round. Generally, it is about 210 yards and a 5 iron at times into the wind. There is a false front to the green with a bunker on the left, so you don’t want to be short. There is a tier on the front left of the green, where balls feed down to, so if the pin is there then there is a good chance of birdie. A front right pin has a slope short of it, so players tend to putt back to that pin. Pins at the back of the green seem to result in lots of birdies, as the ball tends to come back off slopes. An errant tee shot, can mean a close to impossible two putt given the slopes on the greens, so the hole definitely rewards a good ball-striker,” – Padraig Harrington
