How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 356 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping. On the hole: 2 bunkers, Leaf pile.
A pile of fallen leaves lies on the fairway. It plays like a bunker — 70% distance and capped at 160 yards — so keep the tee shot short of it or beside it. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 2Par 4 · 324 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: 2 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 3Par 6 · 837 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 4 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 4Par 4 · 348 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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 5Par 5 · 473 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 4 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 6Par 3 · 135 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping. 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 7Par 3 · 202 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.
202 yards, playing about 197 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 4 · 412 yards
Wind: 5 mph, helping, 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.
Hole 9Par 5 · 504 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers, Leaf pile.
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.
