Turnberry Ailsa Course: Hole 12 Monument
Double Open champion Padraig Harrington gives us his personal hole-by-hole course guide for the 2009 Open Championship venue at Turnberry Ailsa Course, where he will be bidding for a third straight Claret Jug.
The 2009 Open Championship:
12th hole - Monument, 451 yards, par 4
The twelfth is a long par 4 back into the wind. A good solid drive is needed to avoid the bunkers down the left. Players will be left with a long second shot into the wind and anytime you make 4 on this hole you will be very pleased. It is a well protected green, with bunkers, mounds and gorse on the right so certainly a hole where par is going to be very acceptable.
