There has been a lot of changes to this week’s host Crans-sur-Sierre course since Scotland’s Richie Ramsay captured the 2012 Omega European Masters.

However while most are cosmetic there is a huge structural change at the par three, 13th though there is no change in the length of the hole.

The hole now mirrors the famed 17th on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass and annual event for the Players Championship.

And if anything the seating now for spectators at the back of the 13th hole here in Switzerland is better than for those patrons who have to sit on grass at the Florida course.

Hereunder is exclusive www.golfbytourmiss.com photographs taken today (Mon) on the 203-yard or 186-meter ‘new look’ 13th hole.
