- The Rio 2016 course is in "surprisingly" good condition, says Brazilian golfer Miriam Nagl who took part in the first test event this week.
Nagl was one of only nine home players to compete in Tuesday's event on the new links course after international golfers declined invitations, with many pointing to clashing schedules.
"I never expected it to be so well developed," the 35-year-old said.
"I would say it's equal to a good course like the Doral in Miami."
She added: "Apart from the bunkers, which have too much sand, I have to say the course is in great shape.
"It suits a player using mid and long irons to approach the greens. The second shot will matter."
