I'm guessing they make so many long putts, they don't get to make many short putts?

And follow up tweet from John Graham:

The difference between the winner and the rest of the field is less than one per round

I saw the title of this topic and thought, "Whether you win or finish last, you are going to hole very darn close to 18 putts per round."

Exactly my first thought too lol.  I'm like "I'm gonna guess it's 72 aaaaaaaaaand 72" 😉

Right, and the rest of the field probably misses a few more greens and thus has a few more putts (after a chip) inside 8'.

The difference here is tiny.
