"Unconventional Challenges and Weather Factors at the 151st Open Championship"

The 18th hole at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, hosting the 151st British Open, features a rare internal out of bounds spot that is likely to impact the championship. The area between the third and 18th fairways, typically used as a practice range, has been turned into hospitality areas and merchandise tents. Golfers now face a limited landing spot due to the out of bounds marker being moved closer to the fairway, making it a proper risk-and-reward hole. While some golfers appreciate the challenge, others acknowledge the difficulty of avoiding the out of bounds area.
