How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 334 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 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 2Par 4 · 352 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: Portal green, 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 7 · 1153 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Water, 4 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 · 384 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, 2 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 5Par 4 · 346 yards
Wind: 5 mph, into you. 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 6Par 4 · 351 yards
Wind: 5 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 2 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
Hole 7Par 4 · 417 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. 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 8Par 3 · 125 yards
Wind: 7 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 9Par 3 · 136 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: 2 bunkers.
136 yards, playing about 138 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
