Hole 13, O'Cross (In) 465 yards Par 4

A new tee introduced for the Open five years ago brought the Coffins bunkers back into play at 280-310 yards on the left. Players will be faced with a tricky approach over broken ground to a huge double green shared with the 5th hole. Walking off with a par here is no bad thing, especially with the clinging rough on the left and a deep bunker on the right that guard the entrance to the green.
