A look at the British Open, hole by hole (The Associated Press)

TROON, Scotland (AP) -- A hole-by-hole look of Royal Troon, site of the 145th British Open on July 14-17:

No. 1, 367 yards, par 4: A gentle opening hole, especially with the prevailing wind at the player's back. There is out-of-bounds to the right and two bunkers on either side of the landing zone, assuming players hit iron off the tee. Some might try to drive the green in dry, favorable conditions. The green is slightly elevated with a narrow opening and surrounded by five bunkers.

Stroke average and rank in 2004, the last time the British Open was held at Royal Troon: 4.
