Turnberry Ailsa Course: Hole 14 Risk-An-Hope

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:

14th hole – Risk-An-Hope, 448 yards, par 4

The fourteenth is a tough par 4 playing back into the wind. Again it is about hitting the fairway on these long par 4s into the wind, still leaving a tough second shot. The green is protected by a few bunkers so anytime you make par here you will be very happy.
