Padraig Harrington plays the brand new 17th Hole at Royal Liverpool for the very first time.
At just 140 or so yards, ‘Little Eye’, Hoylake’s newest hole, is a simply stunning creation, with an infinity green on a par-3 that plays directly out towards the ocean and Wales, which is just a few miles away.

I've watched a dozen people play this hole and they all go to the right and most end up in that deep trap. Got to hit it in the middle of the green no matter where the pin is. Geesh.
I hope they triple roll it and make it really slick. Otherwise it would be boring LMAO
Great 3rd there Padraig! Beautifully played. If it's dry and windy, that hole might be hard to birdie! ❤😂
Looks impressive. Royal Wirral really pulled it out the bag.
Nothing but respect to Paddy. He’s an intelligent observer of the game who puts a lot back. I hope he goes well this year
Fairly big green to my eyes, should of made it smaller, more of a challenge to the pros!
Beautiful hole, beautifully described by Podge.
Yeah I don't think its fair to the golf course to scope it out with all the Hi tech out there o well the games a foot as they say Paddy I'm Irish too u got to get a gophers eye view how u gona read a putt
Looks like that hole is a man eater lol 😂
Just a quick point , I would like to have seen Pro Tracer line on the tee shot.
Otherwise , a nice review of a hole which could be a card wrecker at a key time in the Open championship.
After he looked into the deep bunker I was expecting him to say JAYSUS. But he just said yeah ok..
Padraig is the best. Tons of luck in THE CHAMPIONSHIP,, from English John
Such a great player
Great insight Padriag. Perhaps you could review each hole in the same way, your insights are really interesting. Many thanks.
Thank you Mr Harrington good luck next week!
He's the best.
Legend.
if you don't make an Ace the first time you play a par 3 you can never make a real hole in one on it.
That re-design looks amazing. Should provide some great moments.
That’s a Pinehurst 2 green with links bunkers and weather. Streuth!
God what a green like a pudding bowl upside down
I actually fancy him to do very well this year..links golf suits him.
This hole is what we call a separation hole so you're going to have a lots of pars and there's going to be lots of fours so this hole will be a one-stroke swing.
Good job Padraig. You just brought that hole alive.
Wouldn't it be great to see Paddy and Bernard playing together on the last day leading the field. A couple of senior players showing the young whipper snappers, how to play.
If only every tournament on the pga tour could have these playing lessons before each tournament.
Padraig is my favourite ever golfer. I love how pro golfers can also play the perfect duff to show what’ll happen if players play a bad shot.
