How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 360 yards
Wind: 10 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.
Hole 2Par 6 · 829 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Water, 4 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 3Par 5 · 425 yards
Wind: 18 mph, left to right. 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 right.
Hole 4Par 3 · 122 yards
Wind: 8 mph, left to right. 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 5Par 4 · 438 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 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 6Par 5 · 505 yards
Wind: 10 mph, left to right. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 7Par 3 · 138 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
138 yards, playing about 135 with the wind — on paper a pitching wedge. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 4 · 316 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. 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.
Hole 9Par 4 · 334 yards
Wind: 12 mph, left to right. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
