Tiger Woods triple-bogeyed the hole in 1997, sinking his chance at the Open Championship. Greg Norman played all of Royal Troon perfectly on the final day of the Open in 1989 -- except for a bogey on 8 that guaranteed his unfortunate playoff. This year, Bubba Watson raced out to the tournament lead (5-under par through 7 holes) before a triple bogey on 8 brought him back to Earth.
It is the Postage Stamp: a mere 123 yards from the tee to the farthest edge of the tiny green, something that should be an easy wedge or 9-iron for birdie, but is instead a haunted funhouse of grave-like bunkers and whipping Scottish wind. Saving par is a challenge that requires patience, precision and more than a little luck. Its reputation as the most dangerous short hole in Europe is well-deserved, and its infamous legend will only grow at this year's Open at Royal Troon.
