Well, it was a day where the weather wasn’t the only thing that had a good lie — the bunkers got some love too! Yes, you heard right: the preferred lies rule was in full swing, and it wasn’t just the grass that was getting a break — even the sand seemed to want to be part of the action. If you found yourself in a bunker, don’t worry, your ball was living its best life with a little extra cushion and some gentle encouragement to stay out of trouble. It was a day where every shot had the potential to be a “wow, that was lucky” moment. So, let’s take a look at the winners, the rundowns, and the golfers who clearly made the most of their friendly lies!
