Masters Fun Fact #2

Just heard that Sandy Lyle is making his 42nd appearance and has only had one top ten finish, when he won.

Kevin Na with a double on the first hole.

Na out first. 7 hour rounds confirmed.

Na out first. 7 hour rounds confirmed.

Drive missed left behind a tree, chip out, thinned a wedge over the back, chip back up and over to about 30 feet, two putt. Could be a long day......

Several reasons. Firstly DataGolf is a better measure of who are the best players "right now" (which is relevant to Phil's claim) - OWGR is a tapered two year rolling average that enables players to maintain erroneously high rankings for an extended period. Secondly, DataGolf has a broader scope compared to OWGR. Thirdly, OWGR is skewed by some very bizarre calculations and points allocations that do not accurately represent relative performances (e.g. awarding more points for a distant last place in a very small field in the US than top 5 in a big field in Asia/Japan/Australia/South Africa/Europe/etc.).

Says who ?



And did you really take 99.9% that literally and fail to understand that it was more of a saying as opposed to a statistical fact

At least he didn't take 16......

He has, however, announced that it'll be his last! FWIW, If I had the opportunity to be there every year, I'm pretty sure I would - even if I had to play the course a few times!

Interesting but why when it’s got 99.9% of the best golfers in the world right now

As a maths grad, I have to challenge your very suspect arithmetic! It would have to have a field of at least 999 for that to be correct, let alone the hangers on like Sandy Lyle et al! FWIW, Wjemather is correct about DataGolf's weighting of recent results - it actually states that - and it's quite reasonable to do so as it's target market is betting folk, so interested in current form cf old results!

I've never even heard of Wyndham Clark.

Sounds like a firm of paper merchants in Slough.

As a maths grad you appear to have lost all common sense


and “Data Golf” is irrelevant - none of the tours use it

Matthew McLean - 2 and leading the Masters after birdie on the 1st and 4th.

Long weekend for you

Over 78% of Maths grads lack common sense! Datagolf's market is Golf gamblers, so current form is relevant to them! They probably ignore OWGR!

Oh Dear!

Cnrist alive.. Viktor.?
What the hell are you wearing....

 

[Deleted member 1147]

So Kevin Na is so unused to playing 72 holes that he gave up after 9

 

[Imurg]

Maybe one of his Iron Heads came loose....
