How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 523 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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 2Par 3 · 162 yards
Wind: 14 mph, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers.
162 yards, playing about 162 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 3Par 4 · 408 yards
Wind: 10 mph, against, right to left. 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 4Par 6 · 784 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, 4 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 5Par 4 · 425 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 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 6Par 4 · 389 yards
Wind: 12 mph, right to left. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.
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 left.
Hole 7Par 4 · 405 yards
Wind: 11 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, 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 left.
Hole 8Par 5 · 470 yards
Wind: 11 mph, right to left. 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 left.
Hole 9Par 3 · 149 yards
Wind: 11 mph, 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.
