How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 389 yards
Wind: 20 mph, left to right. On the hole: The crossing.
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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 2Par 4 · 320 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 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 3Par 7 · 1131 yards
Wind: 7 mph, left to right. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 5 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 4Par 3 · 144 yards
Wind: 9 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 5Par 4 · 426 yards
Wind: 5 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, 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 6Par 4 · 349 yards
Wind: 6 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Water, 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 7Par 4 · 405 yards
Wind: 10 mph, left to right. On the hole: 2 bunkers.
Fairway first. Rough keeps only 84% of your distance and stops the ball dead, so a shorter, straighter tee shot often finishes further up. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 8Par 3 · 178 yards
Wind: 9 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.
178 yards, playing about 182 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 9Par 4 · 378 yards
Wind: 8 mph, left to right. On the hole: 4 bunkers, Leaf pile.
A pile of fallen leaves lies on the fairway. It plays like a bunker — 70% distance and capped at 160 yards — so keep the tee shot short of it or beside it.
