How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 310 yards
Wind: 7 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, Cart path, Water, 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.
Hole 2Par 3 · 139 yards
Wind: 7 mph, 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.
Hole 3Par 4 · 309 yards
Wind: 5 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, 3 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 5 · 487 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). 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 5Par 4 · 381 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: The burn, The arm, Cart path, 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 6Par 4 · 407 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: Cart path, Water, Lava pool, 1 bunker.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
Hole 7Par 5 · 570 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: A gust band, Lava pool, 3 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 8Par 4 · 314 yards
Wind: 6 mph, right to left. 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.
Hole 9Par 4 · 383 yards
Wind: 7 mph, against, 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.
