Are you suggesting that this week's course was easier than last week's?
Or maybe that all these guys worked out the kinks in their games over the past week?
Or that playing two weeks in a row has a salutory effect on one's game?
I wonder how the Top 10 players in the world played this week?

Coming into this week, Adam Scott was the highest rated (15) in the field. He is, in reality, already a top 10 player, but that might not be reflected in the rankings. Not quite a full year on tour and has 3 wins. It's really early, but could he now have the label on the BPNTHWAM?
Yeah, he's too young for that title yet. I think Sergio would get it before him. Currently, I don't think anyone stands out so much as to have earned that title - as far as majors played and near-misses are concerned.
Cool posts, you guys. I just thought I'd toss something out to see what would happen. Good info, good humor... man, I love this place.
Attention, victory: I think that dblbassted should be denied entry into the British Open pool. He's got an unfair advantage, using that omniscient GPS cart of his.

All in good fun.... Plus, it's not as accurate as I think it is.
