How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 331 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. 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 2Par 3 · 127 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 3Par 4 · 397 yards
Wind: 6 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers, Leaf pile.
A pile of fallen leaves lies on the fairway. It plays like a bunker — 70% distance and capped at 160 yards — so keep the tee shot short of it or beside it.
Hole 4Par 4 · 407 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, 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 5Par 3 · 147 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. On the hole: 1 bunker.
147 yards, playing about 152 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 6Par 5 · 506 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 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 7Par 5 · 549 yards
Wind: 5 mph, into you. 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 8Par 5 · 472 yards
Wind: 6 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, Water, 2 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 9Par 4 · 314 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. 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.
