How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 414 yards
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: The burn, Portal green, The arm, Cart path, 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 2Par 4 · 374 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 3Par 3 · 139 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. 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 4Par 3 · 136 yards
Wind: 14 mph, into you. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers.
136 yards, playing about 144 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 5Par 6 · 839 yards
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Water, 5 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 6Par 5 · 568 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. On the hole: 1 bunker.
A long one at 568 yards. Keep both shots on the fairway — it rolls out nearly five times further than rough — and the green comes back to you.
Hole 7Par 5 · 491 yards
Wind: 14 mph, into you. On the hole: Lava pool, 2 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 8Par 4 · 353 yards
Wind: 13 mph, into you. On the hole: Cart path, Lava pool, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 9Par 4 · 313 yards
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
