Top 5 most interesting things happened in golf week March 11-14
A lot of interesting things have happened this week in golf. Here are the 5 most interesting things:
5. Another Monday finish on the PGA Tour, at the Puerto Rico Open (The Bob Hope earler in January also had Monday finish). in which tournaments have frequently suffered weather delays. For the past 14 months, 6 tournaments needed either a Monday finish or was shortened or completely cancelled.
4. Scorecard of the week: David Toms had a very cool scorecard in which in all 4 rounds he shot a 72. Not a very decent scoring week for him but it's indeed very cool because I've never seen that type of scorecard before where a player shoots all 4 rounds even par.
3. The very first recorded score at the Puerto Rico Open this year was a hole-out eagle on a 474-yard par 4, made by Skip Kendall.
2. Robert Allenby: He started his week 8 under thru 14 holes but bogeyed the last 4 holes to finish 4 under for that day. In addition to the interesting statistics for him, for the first 2 rounds, he made 10 putts over 10 feet but didn't make ANY putts from 3 to 8 feet.
1. Significant contrast in the scoring average at Doral. First round, par was a very decent score, but in the second round, scoring was siginficantly easier that players could bounce back from as far as a 79 in Round 1 to a 68 in Round 2. Round 4 the same contrast occured, where Ian Poulter shot a 78 in one round but his final round score was as good as a 64. Also several players who couldn't break par in any of their first 3 rounds shot 67s and 68s in the final round.
