How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 313 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, 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.
Hole 2Par 4 · 374 yards
Wind: 6 mph, left to right. 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.
Hole 3Par 4 · 397 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: The arm, Cart path, Lava pool, 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 4Par 6 · 557 yards
Wind: 17 mph, left to right. On the hole: The crossing, A gust band.
Played island to island over open water. Each shot only has to reach the next stepping stone, so choose the club for the stone, not the flag. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 5Par 3 · 195 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: 1 bunker.
195 yards, playing about 194 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 6Par 3 · 132 yards
Wind: 6 mph, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, 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 7Par 4 · 431 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 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 8Par 4 · 427 yards
Wind: 5 mph, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, Water, Lava pool, 3 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 9Par 5 · 484 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
