Royal Troon's Postage Stamp Hole Challenges Golf's Elite

The 123-yard par-3 at the British Open is renowned for its difficulty despite its short length, demanding precision and skill from the world's top golfers.

The Postage Stamp is the shortest hole on the Open Championship rota, measuring just 123 yards.
Despite its short length, the hole is infamous for its high difficulty due to unpredictable winds and treacherous bunkers.
The hole's left-side 'Coffin' bunker is particularly feared for its depth and difficulty of escape.
Historical performances on the hole have ranged from hole-in-ones to disastrous scores, illustrating its unpredictable nature.
This year's Open may see the hole play as short as 99 yards, potentially making it the shortest hole in British major history.
