The second is another dogleg-left par 4 that plays straight into the prevailing wind, but this time the sand is on the right off the tee.
The bunkers are around 300 yards off the tee so most may opt to keep the driver in the bag if conditions are firm, which will leave a wedge of some sorts into this well-protected green.
Again though, thick rough is in play so accuracy off the tee is a premium.
The slim green is guarded by no-less than six bunkers short and on either side, whilst anything long will nestle in the thick rough.
