Royal Troon Golf Club Hole by Hole: Hole 11

Named 'The Railway' after the railway line which goes down the right side of this hole, the 11th is one of the toughest on the course.

The green is protected by just one bunker short-left but that's all it needs as the railway is just off the right of the green.

A par here will almost feel like a birdie.
