Hide AdHeavy overnight rain left the course very wet and play was from mats on the fairways.
The greens were very good and firm enough to stop the ball pugging. There was no wind and it was sunny for most of the day and not cold until late in the afternoon.
There were eight gross or nett eagles, four on the first/10th hole, and a fine gross eagle on the 14th by Casper.
With most of the professionals away at the TGI conference at the Belfry, there were only two in the pro-am section.
