The 137-yard par-three is one of the most iconic par-threes in golf and has caused players plenty of problems through the years, with a mini replica of the "Island Green" inside the fans' village giving amateurs the chance to take on the famous hole.

With the distance reduced to 35 yards and the green even smaller than the real thing, Radar and Jamie were given two attempts each to get as close to the pin as possible in a special contest.
