A detailed hole-by-hole guide to St Andrews Old Course, home of the 150th Open Championship. Get to know the course and find out where this year's Claret Jug may be won and lost this year
Hole 13, O'Cross (In) 465 yards Par 4
A new tee introduced for the Open five years ago brought the Coffins bunkers back into play at 280-310 yards on the left. Players will be faced with a tricky approach over broken ground to a huge double green shared with the 5th hole. Walking off with a par here is no bad thing, especially with the clinging rough on the left and a deep bunker on the right that guard the entrance to the green.
