Wasthis the Strangest Hole in Major GolfHistory?

The 146th OpenChampionship at Royal Birkdale certainlydidn’t disappoint!

On Saturday we sawSouth African Brandon Grace enter thehistory books with a record breaking roundin the Open with a 62, but all the talk wasabout the final day and what was maybe thestrangest hole in major golf took place atthe par-4 13th.

This image islikely to become one of the most famousphotos in Open History – Jordan Speithplaying his 3rd shot off the range on the13th hole directly in front of the TitleistTruck.
