For Thursday's first round, several forward tees were used. The par 3 17th, which, from the tips, plays around 237 yards, was 214 today. And the 500+ yard par 4 18th played 448 today.

Additionally, many of the pin locations were quite accessible and early-week precipitation had softened the greens somewhat.

With the weather forecast calling for sun and breeze throughout the weekend, which will firm up the greens and increase the speeds, coupled with tougher pin locations and back tees, you can rest assured the scores are going up.
