Soft Greens, Fast Greens… and Pin Placements from Another Planet!

The course served up one of those days where the greens looked invitingly soft underfoot, only to reveal lightning pace once the ball started rolling. Add in some delightfully diabolical pin placements that appeared to have been chosen by someone with a dark sense of humour, and scoring became a true test of nerve. Players who managed to stay patient, avoid three-putts and four-putts and negotiate the trickiest corners of the greens were richly rewarded most of the time.
