Yahoo data is bad.
I told them about this a week ago and they still have not fixed it. I would not trust any of their sports data.
The players at position 22 are wrong. I checked with the LPGA.

I was using the Yahoo free handicap tracker for a while and it suddenly improved my HC by 6 strokes. The input data was fine, the system was just ******* up. I ended up moving it to Topflite.com, as suggested here at GR.

Don't be too hard on yahoo. The lpga had the data wrong themselves.
They were changing figures around. First they had Annika finishing at level par, then they changed it to -1. There were several more mistakes also.
They were also very slow to update, so I bet that's why the yahoo data was wrong as well.

Yes, the LPGA web site leaves a lot to be desired. |
