Open Championship 2024: How hard can the 112-metre Postage Stamp really be? A deep-dive explanation

To put the absurdly confounding difficulty of the relatively microscopic 8th hole at Royal Troon in perspective, consider this: The average proximity to the hole on the PGA Tour for a shot played at a similar distance to the 8th’s 123 yards is just a shade over 20 feet. Whether the pin is set in the front, middle or back on the hole’s relatively wee putting surface, such a miss could very well not be on the green.
