High (out)
This shortish par-4 is another where placement from the tee is of the utmost importance. The players will be looking to find the crossover fairway shared with the par-3 11th.
To do so they must carry the ball 230 yards to clear the rumpled rough and gorse, but they must prevent their shot from rolling out beyond 300 yards into sprawling “Shell” bunker with its six-foot face. Most will use a long-iron or hybrid from the tee here.
If they find the fairway, the pitch in is a fairly straightforward one, although the green does feature some perplexing slopes and swales that
could feed the ball away from the hole if a shot lands in the wrong spot. If the hazards can be avoided, it’s another decent birdie chance.
