How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 151 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). 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 4 · 420 yards
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: The burn, A gust band, 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 4 · 318 yards
Wind: 6 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 3 bunkers, Leaf pile.
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 4Par 4 · 375 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Cart path, Water, 3 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 5Par 5 · 553 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: Cart path, Water, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
Hole 6Par 3 · 140 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: Cart path, Water, 1 bunker.
140 yards, playing about 141 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 7Par 4 · 313 yards
Wind: 6 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers, Leaf pile.
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 · 571 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: The arm, Water, 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 9Par 5 · 304 yards
Wind: 18 mph, right to left. On the hole: The crossing.
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 left.
