32 players teed off on a warm morning with clear skies and a slight breeze. The weather forecast was for temperatures in the mid 30s by mid to late morning and the forecast was 100% correct.
The fairways were generally in good condition with a thick covering of grass but still patchy on some fairways.
The Greens had a good thick cover of grass that made putting all the more difficult to gauge the best speed due to the moisture from rain and dew overnight.

The players in the last group only just managed to finish their round due to fatigue from the heat and dehydration.
The fairways were generally in good condition with a thick covering of grass but still patchy on some fairways.
The Greens had a good thick cover of grass that made putting all the more difficult to gauge the best speed due to the moisture from rain and dew overnight.
