Turnberry Ailsa Course: Hole 7 Roon The Ben'

The 2009 Open Championship:

7th hole - Roon The Ben, 538 yards, par 5

The seventh hole is a generous par 5, providing an opportunity that must be taken on the front nine. Although an awkward tee shot, it is a dog leg left with the wind tending to be down off the left but the left hand bunker can be carried. If players hit the fairway they will be left with a 6 iron or so to the green, giving an opportunity for an eagle. If coming from the rough players can probably run one up to a reasonably generous target, with the ball tending to gather into the green. Again the green has an extreme slope, back to front, so keeping the ball below the pin will be very important.
