How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 127 yards
Wind: 5 mph, into you. On the hole: Island green, A gust band.
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 2Par 3 · 135 yards
Wind: 10 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
135 yards, playing about 139 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 3Par 4 · 339 yards
Wind: 7 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Water, Lava pool, 2 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.
Hole 4Par 5 · 559 yards
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, Lava pool, 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 5Par 3 · 164 yards
Wind: 9 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
164 yards, playing about 169 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 6Par 4 · 398 yards
Wind: 7 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 7Par 4 · 391 yards
Wind: 5 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.
Hole 8Par 5 · 533 yards
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 9Par 4 · 311 yards
Wind: 7 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.
