How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 6 · 807 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Water, 4 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 5 · 503 yards
Wind: 9 mph, against, left to right. 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.
Hole 3Par 5 · 571 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 4 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 4Par 4 · 418 yards
Wind: 5 mph, left to right. 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.
Hole 5Par 3 · 170 yards
Wind: 5 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 1 bunker.
170 yards, playing about 172 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 6Par 3 · 198 yards
Wind: 6 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.
198 yards, playing about 202 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 7Par 4 · 400 yards
Wind: 7 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, 3 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 8Par 4 · 353 yards
Wind: 5 mph, left to right. On the hole: The burn, The arm, Cart path, 1 bunker.
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 9Par 4 · 348 yards
Wind: 6 mph, into you. 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.
