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.

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.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
