No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 326 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 2Par 4 · 379 yards
Wind: 7 mph, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, 3 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 3Par 4 · 322 yards
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Water, 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 4 · 356 yards
Wind: 5 mph, right to left. On the hole: 3 bunkers, Kick boulder.
A rock sits in the landing area. It stops a rolling ball and kicks it hard up the hole: fly it, steer around it, or play the rebound for extra yards.
Hole 5Par 4 · 424 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
Hole 6Par 7 · 1100 yards
Wind: 11 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 2 water hazards, 4 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 7Par 3 · 160 yards
Wind: 9 mph, against, right to left. 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 8Par 4 · 388 yards
Wind: 7 mph, right to left. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.
Hole 9Par 3 · 177 yards
Wind: 11 mph, right to left. On the hole: 1 bunker.
177 yards, playing about 178 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
