Turnberry Ailsa Course: Hole 15 Ca' Canny
Double Open champion Padraig Harrington gives us his personal hole-by-hole course guide for the 2009 Open Championship venue at Turnberry Ailsa Course, where he will be bidding for a third straight Claret Jug.
The 2009 Open Championship:
15th hole - Ca’ Canny, 206 yards, par 3
The fifteenth is a great par 3. With the prevailing wind tending to be from the right and given a big fall off on the right side of the green, players will have to aim down the right hand side of the green, trying to cut it. It is a big enough target and you will see a lot of players playing safe, leaving themselves a long putt. As players will try to avoid missing this green on the right I do not think you will see many birdies on this hole. It will be more about just trying to take two putts from long range.
