How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 356 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 3 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 2Par 4 · 320 yards
Wind: 10 mph, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, Lava pool, 3 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 6 · 560 yards
Wind: 15 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: The crossing, A gust band.
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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 4Par 4 · 316 yards
Wind: 6 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, Cart path, Lava pool, 2 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 5Par 3 · 148 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). 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 6Par 5 · 579 yards
Wind: 5 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 2 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 3 · 133 yards
Wind: 7 mph, left to right. On the hole: 2 bunkers.
133 yards, playing about 133 with the wind — on paper a pitching wedge. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 4 · 430 yards
Wind: 6 mph, left to right. On the hole: The burn, The arm, Cart path, 1 bunker, Basalt rock.
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 · 338 yards
Wind: 7 mph, left to right. On the hole: 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.
A rock sits in the landing area. It stops a rolling ball and kicks it hard up the hole: fly it, steer around it, or play the rebound for extra yards.
