How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 489 yards
Wind: 13 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 2Par 5 · 545 yards
Wind: 12 mph, right to left. On the hole: 2 bunkers.
A long one at 545 yards. Keep both shots on the fairway — it rolls out nearly five times further than rough — and the green comes back to you. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 3Par 3 · 198 yards
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 2 bunkers.
198 yards, playing about 196 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 4Par 3 · 151 yards
Wind: 9 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 5Par 4 · 441 yards
Wind: 13 mph, right to left. 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 left.
Hole 6Par 4 · 327 yards
Wind: 11 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: 3 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.
Hole 7Par 3 · 188 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.
188 yards, playing about 189 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 8Par 4 · 397 yards
Wind: 12 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 9Par 4 · 323 yards
Wind: 12 mph, right to left. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
