Ok, maybe not blow your mind but here they are :-)

http://www.golfdigest.com/gallery/15-stats-from-the-2015-pga-tour-season-that-will-blow-your-mind

1. Jason Day had the longest streak of shooting par-or-better rounds (22). Day's run started at the British Open and ended with a third-round 73 at the Deutsche Bank Championship. The Aussie was a staggering 79 under total during that stretch.

2. It might surprise you that Johnson Wagner, not Jason Day, hadthe season's longest streak of consecutive rounds in the 60s (14). Perhaps even more surprising is the fact that streak only led to these four finishes: T-32, T-5, T-10, and T-18.

3. Josh Teater hit the most consecutive fairways (34).

4. Mark Hensby hit the most consecutive greens in regulation (31).

5. Freddie Jacobson went more than three months without three-putting. His 542 straight holes without three-puttingset a new PGA Tour record.

6. Not one player with at least 20 starts made every cut in the 2014-15 season. Henrik Stenson came the closest with zero missed cuts in 16 tournaments.

7. Seven players managed to go the entire season without missing a putt from three feet and in. Daniel Summerhays hadthe most attempts (941) of anyone with a perfect record.

8. Ryan Palmer had the longest birdie/eagle streak (8 holes)during the second round of the Humana Challenge, to tie the PGA Tour record. Palmer mixed in two eagles to go eight under in the 10-hole stretch during his 61, which also matched the low round on tour for the season.

9. Bubba Watson had the highest percentage (42.86) of drives measured longer than 320 yards.

10. Brooks Koepka made the highest percentage (79.6) of putts between four and eight feet.

11. Chad Campbell made the season's longest putt (95 feet, three inches) on the 17th hole at Riviera CC during the second round of the Northern Trust Open.

12. Brandt Jobe had the longest consecutive one-putt streak (16).

13. Brendon Todd had the most consecutive sand saves (15).

14. Chambers Bay, which hosted the U.S. Open for the first time, wound up having six of the 18 most difficult holes of the season.

15. Jordan Spieth made $881,219 per start for the season. That record total broke down to $13,908 per hole and $3,623 per shot.

Amazing, but kind of what I expect of the best players on the world. Pretty mind blowing, and simply separates us from them by that much more. . .

Just think if Spieth had not missed two cuts during the playoffs.

Cha-ching-ier!

The 99 straight bogey free streak got my attention.    All of these stats are impressive though.

 

thanks for sharing.

The no three-putt streak is the one that slays me every year. Usually it's in the mid-300s. This one is insane. My personal record is 48.

You know the more I think about you are right. Playing that many holes without a 3 putt is God like.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
