Watch as some of the top players at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open take on the 200-yard par-three 17th hole at Castle Stuart - with a putter!

Marc Warren, Richie Ramsay and Russell Knox are all level par for the 17th hole after three rounds at the Scottish Open, so they may want to rethink club selection when they tee it up for the final round at Castle Stuart on Sunday.
