How unique Green is at the 2022 Open
Old Par72 Stadium belongs to Galwew Golf Club, which is considered the source of golf. This is pure Links (coastal), with parallel holes, but in the opposite direction, there is no trees that delineate boundaries. Only four holes with separate green, the remaining 14 holes must be used (Double Green), with pairs 2-16, 3-15, 4-14, 5-13, 6-12, 7-11 and 8-10. They are also interesting when adding the number of shared pairs will result in 18 - equal to the standard number of Old yard.
In addition to double green, the old yard is also different from most yards of "PAR72 strain". The usual structure is four holes par3, four par5 and 10 par4. However, the old hole has only two Par3 holes and two Par5 holes, where Par5 holes are located in the middle of each half (5th and 14th holes), while Par3 holes are located at the roundabout (8th to 11th holes).
The average green area of the whole yard is 2,068 square meters. On such a "floor", Ian Poulter scored the Eagles on July 14 with a putt of about 50 meters on the 9th hole in the first round.
In the ordinary green, there is a bigger feeling besides the naturally bumpy surface. The double green pair 5-13 is as high as 3,437 square meters. Some of these pits are more than 90 meters wide.
Compared with the two main courses-Pebble Beach Golf Lincks in California (US Open) and Augusta National in Georgia (Masters), you can see the terrible degree of Green Old. Pebble Beach averages 325 square meters of green and Augusta National averages 595 square meters.
The double green surface of the old course is wide and requires golfers to hit the ball as accurately as possible, especially long-range shots after attacking the flag, but the ball loses its address.
In this case, former world No 1 Jordan Spieth had a "painful experience" on the 8th hole in the third quarter of the final round of the 2015 Open. When he entered the hole, Spieth got lost in the green part only one stroke away from the top of the table, inserted the banner of the No.10 hole, and the ball was 8 to 30 meters away from the hole. He loses four balls, the first of which rolls off Green on the club and the result is a double bogey. After that mistake, Spieth had to stick to it even harder before finishing T4 at-14, while the play-off milestone went to Zach Johnson, Mark Leishman and Louis Osterhutzen at-15. Johnson won the Claret Jug Cup through 1, 2, 17 and 18 holes after four extra holes. In the three-person matchup, Zhong Green and Johnson scored Bogey on the first and 17th holes respectively.
The 2022 Open opens on July 14, with Cameron Young topping the Group 8 (64) at the end of the first round. In the second round, Yang rose to-11, but fell to second place. The first place was Cameron Smith, with a score of-13. In the first game, Smith played-5.
Collin Morikawa became a former champion when he reached +1 after two rounds while cutting into par. Tiger Woods, who scored +9, has just bid farewell to the game.
