Golf-Stenson has some advice on watching the Open (Reuters)

TROON, Scotland, July 12 (Reuters) - Henrik Stenson has some advice about watching this year's British Open at Royal Troon: get a good seat on the eighth hole, the notorious Postage Stamp.

"... Anyone who wants to see potential train wrecks, if it's blowing hard off the left, that would be the place to sit, in that left-hand grandstand, and see a player struggle with that right-hand bunker," Stenson said at a news conference on Tuesday.

The par-three hole is only 123 yards off the tee, but its diminutive green is surrounded by five bunkers, and the one on the right can be fearsome, Stenson said.
