Almost always, out of bounds on a golf course is reserved for the outside edges of the course property.
This shouldn’t be a big surprise. In 2014, the last time the British Open was played at Royal Liverpool, the course set up a similar internal out of bounds spot along the 18th fairway. In 2014, the par-5 18th played 0.2 shots under par. Per the Golf Channel, however, it had 26 scores of double bogey or worse, which was six more than any other par-5 on Tour had that season.
This time, however, the marker was moved about 20 yards closer to the fairway. The tee was pushed about 50 yards back, too, and there are bunkers along the opposite side of the fairway. That’s left golfers a very limited landing spot on the final hole. "The tee shot is now parallel to the out of bounds, so that gives you a better perspective, but the fact [the out of bounds marker] has come in 20 yards does mean that the fairway's narrower," head pro John Heggarty said,Though it may seem strange, it’s really the only option for Royal Liverpool. In order to have infrastructure to handle the estimated 200,000 or more fans that will attend the tournament this week, hospitality and merchandise tents have to go somewhere.
