How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 425 yards
Wind: 11 mph, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 2Par 5 · 485 yards
Wind: 12 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 3 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 3Par 3 · 122 yards
Wind: 8 mph, 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 4Par 4 · 386 yards
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: The burn, Portal green, The arm, Cart path, Water, 4 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.
Hole 5Par 4 · 333 yards
Wind: 5 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Water, 3 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 · 196 yards
Wind: 5 mph, right to left. On the hole: 1 bunker.
196 yards, playing about 195 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 7Par 3 · 149 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 8Par 4 · 413 yards
Wind: 7 mph, right to left. 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 9Par 5 · 516 yards
Wind: 8 mph, right to left. 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.
