Royal Troon countdown: 16 days to go

We continue the countdown to Royal Troon by taking a look at the Gyaws hole..
 

3rd, Gyaws – 377 yards par 4

The 3rd hole actually ranked the 3rd most difficult hole in the last round in 2004. It is dominated by the burn which crosses the hole. The very longest might think about attempting to carry it in the right conditions from the third tee in the row which neighbours the beach.

The green surrounds have been mown out tighter further from the edge of the green at its rear to take an overhit approach further away from the surface which has some very attractive undulation.

The hole name… (Gyaws)

This is an old Scot’s word meaning furrow or a drain. The burn, which traverse the 16th and 3rd fairways, is so called.

Architect Martin Ebert explains..

“Another short par 4, for the pros, who will hit an iron down the right short of the burn and then approach a green that slopes away from you. A lovely view from the tee hard to the beach.”
