(Reuters) - This year's Open will feature the longest hole in the tournament's history after Royal Troon's sixth was extended as part of moderations for the 152nd edition of the major.
The sixth was already a whopping 601 yards when the tournament was last played on the Ayrshire links in 2016 but this year it will measure 623 yards.
