The par-three eighth measures just 123 yards and can even play as little as 99 yards, weather permitting, making it the shortest hole in Open history but one of the most recognisable on the roster.

The official course guide issued ahead of the tournament describes it as a hole that “can strike fear into the heart of even the best golfers” and “if players were offered four pars at the start of the week, most would take it”.

It is challenging because of the small size of the putting surface, the deep bunkers protecting it and the unusual headwind that makes club selection extremely difficult, with the short par-three a potential card wrecker for those in action.

You can follow players’ progress on the tough par-three throughout the week via the R&A’s Par-3 channel, providing dedicated coverage of the Postage Stamp, with that stream available each day – for free – on the Sky Sports website and Sky Sports app.

Postage Stamp coverage will begin as soon as the first group out on the course reaches the par-three, with the feed available until every group has played the hole.
