How the field played
No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 432 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, 1 bunker, Kick boulder.
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 2Par 4 · 332 yards
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 2 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 3Par 4 · 436 yards
Wind: 5 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 2 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 4Par 5 · 395 yards
Wind: 20 mph, right to left. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 5Par 5 · 538 yards
Wind: 5 mph, into you. 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 6Par 5 · 584 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, 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 7Par 4 · 312 yards
Wind: 9 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: 3 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 3 · 138 yards
Wind: 8 mph, against, right to left. 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 9Par 4 · 376 yards
Wind: 6 mph, against, right to left. 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.
