How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 495 yards
Wind: 15 mph, right to left. On the hole: Water, 3 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 2Par 6 · 857 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Cart path, Water, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 3Par 5 · 513 yards
Wind: 11 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 2 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 4Par 4 · 323 yards
Wind: 15 mph, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 5Par 4 · 397 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. 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 6Par 3 · 134 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping, right to left. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 7Par 4 · 377 yards
Wind: 13 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, 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 8Par 4 · 340 yards
Wind: 15 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 2 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 9Par 3 · 134 yards
Wind: 14 mph, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 2 bunkers.
134 yards, playing about 130 with the wind — on paper a pitching wedge. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
