So for global competition who who be playing everyone straight up ratings wise

Thanks for the fun Martin and everyone else involved.
One question though. I had a 67 first round rated 870, and 66 second round rated 858. What changed to make the rating differ so much?
I also saw Rob shot 49 the first round and 49 the third round, and his ratings were different too.
And Greenwell shot better the third round then the second and had a lower rating, if he had had the better rating as the first two rounds he would have one on the global level.
Please explain what made the third round not rate as high as the first.
I hear ya
I have emailed chuck Kennedy to find out
My best guess so far is notice that nearly 80% or so of the scores today improved from yesterday
This would imply the course played easier despite tougher conditions
SSA yesterday was like 53.2 today it would only be like 51.8
I really do not think the conditions on the course were any better or worse today or Saturday, in fact today may have been a little breezy-er (if that's even a word). I personnaly played better today, but not because of the course conditions-but because I wasn't under the influence of the flu.
Surely they do not say the conditions of the course are different just because players scores change.
Thanks for looking into this for us though.
I doubt they have any real way of judging the course conditions other than looking at people's scores
Yep, dan. The conditions dictate the scores. IE/ Rain will make scores *generally* go up on average, so the SSA will be higher accordingly. Simple math.
