Who shot 69-71-67-70= 277 (t19), 65-68-71-64= 268 (t5), 65-68-72-70 (t18) in his first 3 professional events on the PGA Tour and then followed up by going 62 under par in his next 4 professional events?

Does anyone know of any player who has gone 94 under or better in their first 28 professional rounds with a high round of 72 and low of 62?

Looking back at 1996, it looks like Tiger was 95 under during his first 7 tournaments as a pro with his first 3 finishes being t60, 11, t5.  His high round was 73 and low was 63.

Give me Nicklaus for $200, Alex.

Nah, I think Nicklaus earned something like $50 in his first pro start.  Made up for it by winning the US Open, though.

And those other 17 majors.  LOL

But then again, what the hell do I know?

No I wasn`t referring to Nicklaus...the guy I am talking about was born after Jack won his last major.

Good guess, but the question had a bit of a trick in it.  The guy I am referring to played his first 3 professional events on the PGA Tour this year and then played his next 4 on the Web.com Tour.  Unfortunately for him, you currently need to finish top 10, to get into the next weeks event on the PGA Tour so his two top 20 finishes didn`t help him in that regard.  On the Web.com Tour you need to finish top 25 to get to play the next week and he has yet to finish outside the top 10 with a P2, T3, T10 and T6.

I just noticed that after his PGA Tour debut in June, he had a month off and then play 91 under in 24 rounds over 6 consecutive weeks (-29 in two PGA events and then -62 in 4 Web.com events) before taking this week off.

With back to back wins the last two weeks, LUKE GUTHRIE is now the leading money winner on the web.com tour.  In 3 PGA and 7 Web.com events, he has 2 wins, P2, t3, t5, t6, t10, t18, t19 and only 1 missed cut.  His high round is 73 and he has twice shot 62.  If he had enough rounds to qualify, he would have the leading scoring average on BOTH the Web.com AND PGA Tours.

With only 11 events played (10 as pro, 1 as am) he is ranked #118 in the world even though they use a minimum divisor of 40 events played.

Nope, just impressed with how he has started his pro career and surprised so few people are paying attention.  I enjoy watching the top guys like Rory and tiger, but also find it entertaining to see how the other guys are doing and following what it takes to make it to the big stage.  Guthrie has never finished worse than t19 as a PGA Pro, but he has only been able to get 3 tour starts...that should change now with his card secure for 2013.  I hope to see him playing in the Fall Series and hope he keeps up his good putting.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
