How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 191 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers.
A band of fast air crosses the hole. Fly over it or stay under it — what you can't do is hang the ball in it.
Hole 2Par 5 · 498 yards
Wind: 5 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, Water, 2 bunkers, Leaf pile.
A portal green sits short of the real one. Sink it and you come out beside the pin — but a ball that misses it stops dead, so only go for it with a clean strike.
Hole 3Par 4 · 442 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 2 bunkers.
A portal green sits short of the real one. Sink it and you come out beside the pin — but a ball that misses it stops dead, so only go for it with a clean strike.
Hole 4Par 5 · 556 yards
Wind: 5 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 3 bunkers.
The arm sweeps a stretch of the hole and knocks the ball clear. You can't shoot around it, so land short of it or beyond it.
Hole 5Par 4 · 343 yards
Wind: 6 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 2 bunkers.
The arm sweeps a stretch of the hole and knocks the ball clear. You can't shoot around it, so land short of it or beyond it.
Hole 6Par 3 · 161 yards
Wind: 9 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Island green.
All carry and no bailout. Take enough club for the middle of the green — short is wet, and the thin collar only just holds.
Hole 7Par 4 · 358 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: 2 bunkers, Leaf pile.
A pile of fallen leaves lies on the fairway. It plays like a bunker — 70% distance and capped at 160 yards — so keep the tee shot short of it or beside it.
Hole 8Par 4 · 383 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: Cart path, 2 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
Hole 9Par 4 · 430 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: Water, 3 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.
