The Skinny: The prevailing westerly wind takes the terror out of this mighty par 3. But, if it blows off the North Sea, it will test even the strongest hitters. Against a northeasterly wind on the final day of the 1968 Open, Jack Nicklaus was the only player to get the ball past the pin -- and he used his driver. The narrow, sharply contoured green is almost 50 paces deep, bunkered on both flanks, with the ground falling away toward the Barry Burn on the left.
