Darting away from the clubhouse, highlights later in the round include the sixth hole, which requires a carefully-placed tee shot to avoid water on the left and right, while a fairway bunker lurks on the right side. Once that is safely negotiated, an undulating green is guarded by two bunkers and more water at the front – and all with the beach and the lapping waves just a few steps away at the back of the green.

A dramatic finish to the round also awaits, with the outstanding.
