If you aren't quite feeling it here, you will be found out.

Anything pushed will be swimming, whilst anything short may also run down into the water.

Three large bunkers on the left will see plenty of action but that leaves a sand shot with little room for error.

The safe play is to the heart of the green but that's much easier said than done. We'll see birdies and we'll see double-bogeys here.

Great hole.
