How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 329 yards
Wind: 10 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Lava pool, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 2Par 3 · 156 yards
Wind: 8 mph, left to right. 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 3Par 5 · 541 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, Lava pool, 2 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 4Par 4 · 346 yards
Wind: 5 mph, 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 5Par 5 · 561 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, 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.
Hole 6Par 6 · 899 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Water, 6 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 7Par 3 · 175 yards
Wind: 5 mph, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
175 yards, playing about 176 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 4 · 432 yards
Wind: 7 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 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 9Par 4 · 411 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.
