How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 131 yards
Wind: 9 mph, helping. 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 2Par 3 · 134 yards
Wind: 8 mph, right to left. On the hole: 1 bunker.
134 yards, playing about 132 with the wind — on paper a pitching wedge. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 3Par 3 · 186 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 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 4Par 4 · 308 yards
Wind: 12 mph, helping, right to left. 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 5Par 4 · 383 yards
Wind: 9 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Lava pool, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 6Par 6 · 490 yards
Wind: 15 mph, helping, right to left. 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 7Par 4 · 309 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, Lava pool, 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 8Par 5 · 515 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, Water, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 9Par 4 · 361 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
