How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 411 yards
Wind: 12 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: The burn, Portal green, The arm, Cart path, 1 bunker.
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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 2Par 4 · 370 yards
Wind: 6 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, 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 3Par 5 · 560 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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 4Par 6 · 781 yards
Wind: 10 mph, left to right. 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 5Par 3 · 119 yards
Wind: 10 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 6Par 4 · 419 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.
Hole 7Par 4 · 441 yards
Wind: 12 mph, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 8Par 3 · 133 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.
133 yards, playing about 130 with the wind — on paper a pitching wedge. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 9Par 4 · 382 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: 2 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.
