How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 374 yards
Wind: 16 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 · 324 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, Water, 1 bunker, Leaf pile.
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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 3Par 4 · 334 yards
Wind: 14 mph, left to right. On the hole: The burn, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 2 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 4Par 4 · 331 yards
Wind: 11 mph, left to right. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 5Par 3 · 119 yards
Wind: 11 mph, left to right. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 6Par 4 · 389 yards
Wind: 16 mph, left to right. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 7Par 3 · 160 yards
Wind: 11 mph, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
160 yards, playing about 158 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 8Par 5 · 502 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 9Par 6 · 822 yards
Wind: 16 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 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 right.
