Paul Casey: “There are a lot of tough holes there. I don’t dislike any holes there, but some of them are very tough for me to play. The seventh and the first are really underrated. The first is one of the toughest holes on the golf course, and yet you rarely hear anyone talk about it as a tough hole.”
Paul’s coach Peter Kostis: “I’ll say No. 1 and No. 11 would be tied. No. 1 is scary tough. You have the physical parts of the hole that are tough enough, and then you have all the people standing there, and it’s the first shot of the day. You have to control your anxiety and adrenaline on the first tee. I’ve seen more errant tee shots on the first hole than any other hole.”
