While playing a social round with fellow Test star (and apparent cameraman) Stuart Broad, Anderson somehow ricocheted an iron shot off a tree root straight back into his face.
For an extra challenge, the European Tour had players take on “The Hickory Challenge” at Gullane Golf Club during a practice round at the Scottish Open earlier this week.
Carnoustie’s 499-yard finishing par 4, AKA “Home,” played as the toughest hole on the golf course in the 2007 Open with a whopping 4.61 scoring average. We’re guessing it will play just a bit easier if conditions stay like this.
On the 471-yard 10th hole at Gullane Golf Club, Mickelson smoked an iron that barely got off the ground before running – and running some more – down the course’s baked fairway.
