REPLICA OF CARNOUSTIE #6



HOST TO THE BRITISH OPEN: 1931, 1937, 1953, 1968, 1975, 1999



The 6th at Carnoustie, Scotland is listed as one of the “Top 18 Holes in the World.” Following victories at the Masters and U.S. Open in 1953, Ben Hogan ventured to Carnoustie for his only British Open appearance. In each of the final two rounds, his drives at the 6th took a precarious route between the fence and the bunkers, an area now known as “Hogan’s Alley.” He followed each drive with a 4-wood to the green and a two-putt birdie and won by four strokes. Hogan received a ticker-tape parade upon his return. In the final round of the 1968 Open, Jack Nicklaus hooked his drive at the 6th out of bounds. He lost to Gary Player by two strokes and, years later, when asked where he would use one “mulligan” in his career, chose his ill-fated tee shot at the 6th.
