HOYLAKE, ENGLAND - JULY 20: Rickie Fowler of the United States looks on during Day One of The 151st Open at Royal Liverpool Golf Club on July 20, 2023 in Hoylake, England. If you're a player preparing to challenge a golf course at a major, pretty much the last thing you want to hear is that the course has been adjusted to have a more"dramatic" finish. That's a sure sign that there's trickeration afoot and high numbers ahead.
Start with the 138-yard par 3 17th. This is a new hole — and unlike most Open Championship features, where"new" means"built in the 1910s," it's a legitimately new construction, based thematically on the Island Green at TPC Sawgrass. Miss short, and your shot funnels into a bunker. Miss left, another bunker. Miss right, a steep dropoff leading to ... yep, another bunker."I would say it’s fair, because it’s unfair to everybody,’’ Jon Rahm said prior to the tournament.
We'll see how they react after a couple shots at the hole. Lucas Herbert was the first to suffer at its hands. He stepped up to the 17th at -3 and leading the tournament; he walked off the green at even par after suffering a triple bogey. Herbert flew the green, landed in a bunker, took two shots to get out, and finally putted in for triple.
