How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 422 yards
Wind: 13 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 2Par 5 · 479 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Water, Lava pool, 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 3Par 4 · 421 yards
Wind: 7 mph, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 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 4Par 3 · 134 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping, 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.
Hole 5Par 4 · 400 yards
Wind: 13 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 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 6Par 4 · 412 yards
Wind: 12 mph, left to right. On the hole: The burn, Cart path, 1 bunker.
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 right.
Hole 7Par 5 · 540 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, Lava pool, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 8Par 4 · 440 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping, 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 9Par 4 · 385 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: 2 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.
