Turnberry Ailsa Course: Hole 11 Maidens

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:

11th hole - Maidens, 175 yards, par 3

The eleventh is a solid medium length par 3 and again the difficulty here will be when the pin is placed on the front left of the green just over the bunker. Trying to get balls to stop without releasing to the back of the green will then be tough.
