I have always believed that it was the current player to tie the score went on top of the leaderboard wether first, second, third on and on. But what I have found when Rory McIlroy is playing his name always stays on the top no matter what.

The leaderboard is a TV thing. It's just about TV production, so… they'll tend to rank the better players at the top so that a viewer will be more likely to stick around to watch.

    • Tremendous finish by Grace Kim! Eagles the 18th to tie Thitikul. Takes a penalty shot on the first playoff hole and chips in for birdie from the drop area to advance to the second playoff hole. Eagles the last to win! -5 in three holes to win!

    • Interesting discussion. Consider this; we spend 95% of our open eyed life perceiving everything in a front view. That's what we are/become good at. Our eyes/brain don't develop an accurate  sideways aiming system. Plus our perception 'bends' based on shape of the hole, slope, etc. Anyway, I pick a spot 5 feet in between the ball and target and set up my toes parallel to it. That's it. From 150 yards out Im off by 2 feet. Big whoop. You can try to compensate for it, but unless you are good at changing aim in 0.01 degree increments, chances are you will overcompensate.
