No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 570 yards
Wind: 13 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, Water, 3 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 2Par 3 · 168 yards
Wind: 14 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers.
168 yards, playing about 176 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 3Par 4 · 347 yards
Wind: 13 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 4Par 5 · 524 yards
Wind: 16 mph, into you. 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 5Par 4 · 349 yards
Wind: 11 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: The burn, Portal green, A gust band, Cart path, 3 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 6Par 3 · 123 yards
Wind: 15 mph, into you. 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 7Par 3 · 136 yards
Wind: 11 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: 3 bunkers.
136 yards, playing about 140 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 4 · 305 yards
Wind: 15 mph, right to left. 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 left.
Hole 9Par 4 · 420 yards
Wind: 16 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
