LUKE Donald has an unusual advantage heading into this week’s Open Championship.

The Englishman was delighted to discover a backyard bunker in the home he is staying at while playing at the prestigious major.

It’s no ordinary bunker though.

It appears to be a very good replica of the famous 17th hole road bunker, complete with green and flag.

Luke Donald posted this photo on Instagram on Tuesday showing off the backyard of the home where he’s apparently staying in St. Andrews.

I am sure there is nothing better than finishing off a frustrating day on the course, by continuing the frustration in your own back yard.

Hopefully for Luke’s sake, and sanity he avoids all 112 bunkers that lurk around The Old course.
