The Skinny: Gary Player ignored the fairway when he won in 1968, choosing the safer option of the 15th hole on the right. This strategy avoided the 270-yard carry of the bunker at the corner of the dogleg. Heavier growth between the fairways makes this a less easy option this year. Play too far to the left and a ditch awaits just a few yards into the rough. The flat green, well protected by bunkers at the front, rises into a sharp ridge before merging with the putting surface of the 14th hole. It is Carnoustie's only double green.
