Some stats ahead of this week's European Tour event - the Russian Open at Tseleevo Golf and Polo Club
The European Tour returns to Moscow for the first time in five years this week.
Situated in heavy woodland around 30 miles from the Russian capital, Tseleevo Golf and Polo Club is a Jack Nicklaus design opened in 2008.
It has plenty of water, is covered in trees and reasonably hilly in places.
The course has already hosted three Challenge Tour events whose winners Carlos Del Moral, Alex Kaleka and Sam Little are all teeing-up this week.
