How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 357 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (1 mph). On the hole: Portal green, Cart path, 3 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 2Par 3 · 145 yards
Wind: 6 mph, left to right. On the hole: Island green, A gust band.
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 3Par 5 · 499 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (1 mph). On the hole: Portal green, 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 · 555 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (1 mph). On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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 · 338 yards
Wind: 19 mph, left to right. On the hole: The crossing, A gust band.
Played island to island over open water. Each shot only has to reach the next stepping stone, so choose the club for the stone, not the flag. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 6Par 4 · 354 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
Hole 7Par 3 · 134 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: 1 bunker.
134 yards, playing about 134 with the wind — on paper a pitching wedge. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 4 · 406 yards
Wind: 5 mph, helping. 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 · 365 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (1 mph). On the hole: The burn, Cart path, 3 bunkers.
The burn cuts across on the diagonal. The short carry leaves a long approach; the long carry leaves a short one. Pick your price on the tee, or use the bridge.
