High (in)
This is one of the great par 3s in championship golf, and one that has wrecked many scorecards over the years.
Fearsome “Strath” bunker, named after Davie Strath, (a professional from the late 19th century who had particular issue with this deep, round pot,) nudges into the front of the raised green and can be extremely testing to escape from. With new pin positions available on a flattened section to the back left of the 11th green, “Hill” bunker has also come more into play.
The players will have to fire in a precise mid-iron to this sloping green. The ball will feed back off the
front, down the right side towards the 7th pin and down a steep slope over the back. Long is not a good place to be.
