The 16th and 16th hole in Portrait Royal is one of the most difficult in the entire course. In 236 yards and playing uphill, its large length causes problems (and this is not even the factorization in the wind).
In the 2019 Open Championship in RoyalShe played as the third highest hole of the week. This year, for the 2025 open championship? We are ready to discover.
Johnson Wagner of Golf Channel distributed the hole during a ‘Live’ segment from ‘Wednesday, explaining the main release area of Green and The Miss Miss on the right.
Wagner explained that he was missing briefly could fall in order, which is usually not terrible. But too far to the right and Fescue becomes thicker and the strongest hills, leaving a hard uphill green step. This is when Johnson threw a ball down the hill, went up to the blow and prepared to demonstrate it.
But if you’ve looked at any of Wagner segments before, You know this rest is unpredictable.
“You can’t see anything,” he said as he got his feet comfortable for the ball. “It is steep. The two boys playing (here I saw), they could not get their perception of the depth, they could not solve a good target and both were about 10 to 15 steps the right of the hole.
Johnson shaped and made clean contact.
“Oh god,” he said. “I think I hit him in the Grandstand.”
He did. Grandstand was about half full of spectators, and you can hear some screams and see some clashes off the road. It is unclear if the ball hit someone or just approached; Johnson soon apologized.
In the ‘Live From’ set, Rich Lerner, Brandel Chamblee and Paul McGinley could not help but cheat.
“That turned out as a driver didn’t do it,” McGinley said. “As a bullet.”
After the segment, Johnson went up to make sure everyone was okay.
“Well, of all the shooting I have hit in my days, I think someone is more embarrassing,” he said. “I finally had a crowd and I was physically reprimanded in the ancestor.”
