The sixth was already a whopping 601 yards when the tournament was last played on the Ayrshire links in 2016 but this year it will measure 623 yards. After facing one of the longest holes in world golf, this year's field could then be faced with one of the shortest with the iconic par-three Postage Stamp eighth potentially coming in at 99 yards with a forward tee and pin positioned close to the front of the green for one of the four rounds.
