Which Scottish hole was the easiest on the European Tour this season?

Given the ideal scoring conditions – which the field took full advantage of – it’s no surprise to see that the easiest hole on the European Tour this year was found at Scottish Open host venue Gullane.

The tournament took place in the middle of a summer heatwave, which turned Scotland’s fairways from green to brown and created optimum conditions to shoot low scores.

That was certainly the case at Gullane, where only seven holes played over-par the entire week.

The easiest of the lot? The 523-yard par-5 second.

The third as the members know it played an average of 0.81 strokes under-par across the four rounds, yielding 32 eagles, 299 birdies and 107 pars. There were only five bogeys and nothing worse.
