How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 434 yards
Wind: 12 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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 2Par 4 · 323 yards
Wind: 15 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, Cart path, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 3Par 5 · 515 yards
Wind: 12 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: The burn, Cart path, 2 bunkers.
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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 4Par 3 · 120 yards
Wind: 14 mph, against, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 5Par 3 · 140 yards
Wind: 15 mph, into you. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers.
140 yards, playing about 149 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 6Par 4 · 369 yards
Wind: 11 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, 1 bunker.
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 4 · 353 yards
Wind: 14 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, Water, 4 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 8Par 4 · 359 yards
Wind: 13 mph, against, right to left. 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 9Par 4 · 330 yards
Wind: 9 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
