How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 379 yards
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 2 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 2Par 4 · 434 yards
Wind: 12 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 3Par 3 · 150 yards
Wind: 13 mph, against, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 4Par 4 · 367 yards
Wind: 12 mph, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, Water, 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 5Par 5 · 528 yards
Wind: 13 mph, right to left. On the hole: The burn, Cart path, 2 bunkers.
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 left.
Hole 6Par 4 · 398 yards
Wind: 14 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, 2 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 7Par 4 · 306 yards
Wind: 13 mph, right to left. On the hole: 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 8Par 3 · 194 yards
Wind: 16 mph, right to left. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.
194 yards, playing about 199 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 9Par 6 · 892 yards
Wind: 13 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Water, 4 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
