The 2009 Open Championship:

5th hole - Fin Me Oot, 474 yards, par 4

The fifth is a strong par 4. Players will have the choice of laying back short of the fairway bunkers but this will leave a tough second shot to the slightly elevated green due to the two deep bunkers on the front left. However a good tee shot threaded between the bunkers means the second shot becomes a lot more playable and brings about a birdie opportunity.
