Short game expert Dave Pelz gives tips on playing Carnoustie

Dave Pelz, short game instructor to Phil Mickelson, examines Carnoustie Golf Links where the 2007 British Open was held, and gives advice on how to handle its tall, thick rough.

Before 1999, the Carnoustie's Championship course had even higher rough that meant a single option of hitting the ball to the fairway but since then the layout has changed to provide more options, including several bump-and-run opportunities.

Pelz takes a closer look at the difficult 17th hole, where off to the right of the green there is a large, thick cut of rough. The course tests golfer's short game skills and, as Pelz says, "it separates the great up-and-down players from the mediocre ones."
