A big dogleg to the right with three bunkers in front of the green.The line to take is down the left-hand side of the fairway. Often, when the weather has been good in the lead up to a St Andrews Open, the approach shot here will be from a bare lie, so you can expect to see the pros playing plenty of chip-and-run shots. The hole shares a green with the 11th.
