How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 333 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, Lava pool, 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 2Par 3 · 173 yards
Wind: 12 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
173 yards, playing about 167 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 3Par 5 · 577 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, Water, 4 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 4Par 4 · 344 yards
Wind: 9 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: The burn, The arm, A gust band, 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.
Hole 5Par 6 · 916 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 5 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 6Par 3 · 141 yards
Wind: 10 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 4 · 319 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: Lava pool, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
A rock sits in the landing area. It stops a rolling ball and kicks it hard up the hole: fly it, steer around it, or play the rebound for extra yards.
Hole 8Par 4 · 349 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
A rock sits in the landing area. It stops a rolling ball and kicks it hard up the hole: fly it, steer around it, or play the rebound for extra yards.
Hole 9Par 4 · 430 yards
Wind: 7 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.
