How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 508 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: The burn, Portal green, A gust band, Cart path, 2 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 2Par 5 · 385 yards
Wind: 16 mph, helping. On the hole: The crossing, A gust band.
Played island to island over open water. Each shot only has to reach the next stepping stone, so choose the club for the stone, not the flag. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 3Par 4 · 343 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping, left to right. 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.
Hole 4Par 3 · 139 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. 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 5Par 4 · 431 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Portal green, 3 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 4 · 360 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 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 7Par 5 · 566 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 · 346 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Cart path, Water, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
Hole 9Par 4 · 311 yards
Wind: 5 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 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.
