The first round of the WGT Winter Tour continues on as players compete for a spot among the top 50% in each tier and a chance to advance to Round 2.
Check out this WGT Winter Tour replay from ianrussell2112 on the 11th hole of St Andrews.
A traditional links course like St Andrews requires precise shot selection and strong course management. The famous 17th Road Hole at St Andrews is bordered by the road and features a shallow green guarded by a menacing deep bunker.
When 10-time PGA Tour winner Steve Elkington (@elkpga) recently visited the WGT offices, he explained that depending on the hole location, experienced players often attempt to run the ball up on the right side of the green and play the break, or miss just to the far-left of the green leaving an easy uphill chip shot.
Remember, Round 1 scores on St Andrews must be posted by 11/17 in order to qualify for Round 2 on Bethpage Black and Round 3 on Merion. The top 70 combined scores in each WGT tier win WGT Credits.
