General
The course will play long and a fresh wind is forecast all week which will strengthen the test.
The fairways are tight everywhere, and the rough will be penal - so accuracy off the tee is essential as fairway shaping means the driver will not always be the right club off the tee.
Water will come in to play at the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th ,10th ,12th and 18th.
The 10th hole will be played from the forward tee on the last 2 days so players can reach the green from the tee.
