No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 6 · 826 yards
Wind: 10 mph, left to right. 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.
Hole 2Par 4 · 338 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: Water, 3 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.
Hole 3Par 4 · 320 yards
Wind: 15 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, Water, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 4Par 3 · 163 yards
Wind: 13 mph, against, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 5Par 5 · 513 yards
Wind: 14 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 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 right.
Hole 6Par 5 · 540 yards
Wind: 13 mph, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 7Par 4 · 363 yards
Wind: 12 mph, left to right. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 8Par 3 · 203 yards
Wind: 12 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers.
203 yards, playing about 209 with the wind — on paper a 5 wood. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 9Par 4 · 303 yards
Wind: 13 mph, against, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
