Holes 17 and 18 at Royal Liverpool Hoylake on Thursday proved to be as treacherous as expected in this year's Open Championship, as golfers had trouble finishing their rounds.
Many storylines, including an amateur Christo Lamprecht tied for the lead, atHoles 17 and 18When the tournament teed off on Thursday, the course’s final two holes were a nightmare for many golfers, as treacherous bunkers around the green took victims left and right.
The first on 17 -- a brand new, short par-3 at 138 yards -- calls for a precise tee shot that has a direct line to the pin. If not, the golfer will likely find themselves in one of the bunkers stationed around the intended target. Then, it’s time for the driver with a 599-yard 18th and final hole for the round. There’s multiple out of bounds areas to deal with off the tee. More bunkers await the golfer on their approach shots as well.
Rickie Fowler of The United States plays his third shot on the eighth hole during the first round of The 151st Open at Royal Liverpool Golf Club on July 20, 2023 in Hoylake, England. There was also Justin Thomas’s implosion, as his recent play continues to falter at majors. He scored a wicked quadruple bogey after he couldn’t stay out of the bunkers, hitting out from one to the other and even duffing a pitch shot back in. He’s in danger to miss another major cut with an 82 posted in his first round.
