The 123 yard par 3, 8th hole named the ‘Postage Stamp’ at Royal Troon.

Tournament: 1950 British Open, Old Course at Royal Troon.

Hole: 8.

The eighth hole at Royal Troon – known as the “Postage Stamp” because of the tiny green – has long been considered one of the tougher major championship par 3s, a surprising declaration at only 123 yards. Names like Woods, Norman, and Hagen have all faced this tiny test and lost, but no one knows the sand-bunkered headaches that the eighth provides better than German amateur Herman Tissies. It took him five shots just to get out of the bunkers during the 1950 Open.

Score: 15.
