Golfing hell in a slice of heaven

AUGUSTA’S Amen Corner has a rival.

After two days of the Irish Open, the game’s top players have been buffeted by Killeen’s own three holes from hell in this slice of heaven — and coincidentally, this corner also hinges around the 11th.

How difficult? Well, after day one the stretch from number 11 to 13 ranked one, four, three, in that order — that’s three of the four toughest holes on the course coming together, and with perfect timing.
