How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 533 yards
Wind: 13 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, Water, 1 bunker, Leaf pile.
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 3 · 132 yards
Wind: 6 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 · 403 yards
Wind: 6 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.
Hole 4Par 4 · 306 yards
Wind: 11 mph, right to left. On the hole: 3 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 5Par 4 · 440 yards
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 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.
Hole 6Par 6 · 816 yards
Wind: 7 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Water, 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 7Par 4 · 370 yards
Wind: 8 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.
Hole 8Par 3 · 139 yards
Wind: 13 mph, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 9Par 4 · 337 yards
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, Water, 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.
