How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 525 yards
Wind: 6 mph, helping. 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.
Hole 2Par 3 · 145 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: A gust band, Water, 1 bunker.
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 3Par 4 · 327 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Water, 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.
Hole 4Par 4 · 381 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: The burn, Portal green, A gust band, Cart path, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 5Par 4 · 438 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping, left to right. 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.
Hole 6Par 3 · 164 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. 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 6 · 788 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Water, Lava pool, 5 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 8Par 4 · 392 yards
Wind: 5 mph, helping. On the hole: Cart path, Water, Lava pool, 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 · 372 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Portal green, Cart path, 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.
