How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 130 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 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 · 366 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: The arm, 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 3Par 4 · 341 yards
Wind: 8 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 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 4Par 4 · 368 yards
Wind: 9 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 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 5Par 4 · 336 yards
Wind: 5 mph, left to right. 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 6Par 4 · 329 yards
Wind: 10 mph, left to right. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 7Par 3 · 180 yards
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: 3 bunkers.
180 yards, playing about 187 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 7 · 1129 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Water, 5 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 9Par 4 · 350 yards
Wind: 10 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, Cart path, 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.
