How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 515 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Water, 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 2Par 4 · 338 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, Lava pool, 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 3Par 3 · 129 yards
Wind: 6 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 4Par 4 · 429 yards
Wind: 8 mph, left to right. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, Water, 2 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 5Par 3 · 202 yards
Wind: 5 mph, helping, left to right. 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 6Par 4 · 348 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: Lava pool, 2 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 7Par 4 · 431 yards
Wind: 5 mph, helping. On the hole: 2 bunkers.
Fairway first. Rough keeps only 84% of your distance and stops the ball dead, so a shorter, straighter tee shot often finishes further up.
Hole 8Par 5 · 553 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (1 mph). On the hole: 1 bunker, 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 6 · 486 yards
Wind: 15 mph, helping, 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
