Players will view this hole as an early opportunity – one of only two par fives on Carnoustie’s championship course, and with a generous yardage. However, danger lurks; out of bounds is on the left, fairway bunkers would mean little more than chipping out. Closer to the green, the Barry Burn makes an appearance meaning approach play has to be accurate. The putting surface is well protected by more sand traps. Famously named Hogan’s Alley after the exploits of the 1953 champion, the devil lies in the detail
