How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 157 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. 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 2Par 4 · 348 yards
Wind: 13 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, Water, 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 3Par 5 · 500 yards
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Water, 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 4Par 4 · 311 yards
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, 3 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 5Par 5 · 486 yards
Wind: 12 mph, into you. On the hole: 3 bunkers.
A long one at 486 yards. Keep both shots on the fairway — it rolls out nearly five times further than rough — and the green comes back to you. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 6Par 5 · 499 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Water, 3 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 · 207 yards
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
207 yards, playing about 217 with the wind — on paper a 5 wood. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 4 · 432 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, Water, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 9Par 4 · 420 yards
Wind: 7 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: The burn, Cart path, 2 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.
