How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 394 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping. 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 2Par 4 · 371 yards
Wind: 6 mph, helping. On the hole: The burn, The arm, Cart path, 2 bunkers.
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.
Hole 3Par 5 · 548 yards
Wind: 12 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, 2 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.
Hole 4Par 4 · 313 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 2 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.
Hole 5Par 5 · 557 yards
Wind: 7 mph, left to right. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 1 bunker.
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 6Par 4 · 353 yards
Wind: 6 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 3 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.
Hole 7Par 4 · 401 yards
Wind: 6 mph, helping. 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.
Hole 8Par 3 · 138 yards
Wind: 6 mph, 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 9Par 4 · 303 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping, 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.
