British Open analysis: What awaits the players on the third hole

More chances for sub-par scores to be made.

3rd Hole

377 yards

Par four

A good birdie opportunity with most players likely to hit an iron off the tee as the fairway narrows at 290 yards.

Distance control is vital to the 40-yard long green which is protected by new hollows long and right and bunkers moved closer to the green on the same side.
