Colin Says: They can be very aggressive down here as they should be able to carry the bunker on the right side of the fairway. They'll blast one down as far as they can to give themselves the easiest possible approach to this flat green. This is a good birdie opportunity and it's on this section of the course the players really need to start building their score.
Fergus Says: This is one of the more straightforward holes on the course. If you can get a good drive away down the centre of the fairway you'll be left with a short approach to the huge double green (shared with the 14th – red flag above.) Don't automatically fire it at the pin as it can be tucked on the left or right behind the greenside bunkers.
