I'm not saying Hearn won't win it, on the other hand. No way do I put money down saying he will.

I agree, I'd be more likely to bet money the pressure gets to him and he isn't in the Top 5 at the end of tomorrow.

I'll buck the trend and say I think he wins it. Bubba will have some sloppy holes.

I didn't know that there was a "secondary cut" when more than 78 players make the cut. That's why there are a bunch of players with a MDF status above the cut line of the leader board.

Yeah, I didn't know that either.  Until I happened to wake up early this morning and checked my Yahoo fantasy team.  My "C" starter Scott Piercy was MDF.  So I switched to Tony Finau, who went on to post a -7 this morning.  (I would've left Piercy as the starter if he hadn't got cut.  lol)

That's the fantasy league equivalent of boinking off a greenside sprinkler head and ending up three feet from the hole. :-D

Bingo. I want the season to finish out sans any long putter wins. I can't help but root against anyone who uses it.

As expected, Hearn didn't play well enough to win today, I'm glad Day did.

Really fun final round. As much as I don't care to watch pros with those long putters, I was kinda pulling a little for Hearn today. Glad Day eked it out though. He's gotta be a top 2 or 3 pick for the PGA.

Agreed. Good enough to hold up his position but not enough to hold off the caliber of players in the mix.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
