How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 441 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). 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.
Hole 2Par 3 · 141 yards
Wind: 5 mph, against, left to right. 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 3Par 4 · 312 yards
Wind: 5 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, 3 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 4Par 3 · 170 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. On the hole: Cart path, 2 bunkers.
170 yards, playing about 176 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 5Par 4 · 330 yards
Wind: 6 mph, into you. 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 6Par 4 · 435 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, Cart path, 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 7Par 4 · 416 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 8Par 4 · 397 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: 3 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 9Par 5 · 582 yards
Wind: 5 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, Water, 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.
