How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 150 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). 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 2Par 4 · 372 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: Portal green, 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 3 · 168 yards
Wind: 8 mph, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 1 bunker.
168 yards, playing about 169 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 4Par 5 · 472 yards
Wind: 8 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: The arm, 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 5Par 5 · 526 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 3 bunkers, Leaf pile.
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 6Par 4 · 433 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. 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 7Par 4 · 320 yards
Wind: 7 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, 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.
Hole 8Par 4 · 326 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). 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.
Hole 9Par 4 · 396 yards
Wind: 8 mph, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 2 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
