I'm going to call this a very close miss on 2015 being the year of the #deepfields.

With 2 winners that were OWGR #297 at the time of their win (Paddy & James Hahn back-to-back), the Cejka wins in Puerto Rico as #285

and at the Valspar O'Hair get into the playoff and lips a winning putt all whilst being #400.

Maybe we need a contest to pick the top performer each week from those ranked over #250?

Or maybe it indicates just how deep, deep really is. How genuinely good and competitive even guys 300 down in the rankings are these days.

That is a good point - it would be an interesting study to compare year by year, going back to the beginning of the OWGR, and see how the rankings for tournament winners compared.

I think that to do a true study, someone would have to dedicate a great deal of time to look beyond just the tournament winners; as the statistics would be skewed by the years Tiger was #1 and winning multiple tournaments.

#deepfields - Fabian Gomez wins from #290 in OWGR, just missing the #295 back to back winners earlier in the year
