    Interesting Fact About The Players Winners

    Just saw this on the golf channel.

    Which of these categories do you think matters LEAST in winning The Players?

    Leading in Putting
    Leading in GIR
    Leading in Fairways Hit

    I'll provide answer later today.

    I am guessing it is putting as it appears that if you can't hit fairways and hit them in the right spot, you are screwed for GIR...

    Fairways hit---I guess we'll have to wait for the next major
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

    In the past five years, the winner hasn't finished in the top 10 in putting, but 4/5 if I remember correctly led in GIR and 3/5 led in fairways hit.

    Not surprising that GIR is the main factor at TPC. A substantial number of the misses will end up in the water.

    Also worth noting that GIR is always the #1 indicator for scoring in general on the PGA tour.
    Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!
