Event Notes

Second week in a row in Hawaii but the courses are very different
Waialae is a short Par 70, while Kapalua was a long Par 73
This is a very flat course with much smaller greens than last week
Fairways here are generous yet still tough to hit each year
Driving accuracy hasn’t been all that important though
High greens in regulation rate here, even from the rough
Scoring on this course all depends on the wind
Only two Par 5s on the course, 70% of approach shots from 125-200 yards
Comp courses: Harbour Town and Colonial Country Club

What to Look For

Strokes gained approach
Strokes gained putting (emphasis on bermuda)
Strokes gained around the green
Bogey avoidance
Total driving
