I was comparing stats today on Yahoo! Golf and ran across some neat tidbits. For your viewing pleasure compare your stats to the "worst" (yeah..right) PGA player stats :
Driving Accuracy: Jimmie Walker 49.8% (fairways hit)
(Joe Durant (1) 79.2% / Tiger Woods (146) 60.7%)
Birdie Average: Hidemichi Tanaka 2.6/round
(Tiger Woods (1) 4.4/round)
Par 5 Birdie: Mark Brooks 28.5%
(Tiger Woods (1) 57.1%)
GIR: Todd Hamiliton 56.7%
(Tiger Woods (1) 74.2%)
Eagles: Ian Poulter (five-way tie) 1
(J.B. Holmes (1) 19 / Tiger Woods (10) 12)
Par 3 Birdie: Ryan Hietala 5.4%
(Kirk Triplett (1) 21.2% / Tiger Woods (26) 14.9%)
Scoring Average (actual): Hidemichi Tanaka 73.2
(Tiger Woods (1) 68.7)
Driving Distance (avg.yds): Corey Pavin 265.9
(Bubba Watson (1) 318.4 / Tiger Woods (6) 306.4)
Putts Per Round: Bill Glasson 30.2 putts/round
(Aaron Baddeley (1) 28 / Tiger Woods (140) 29.4)
Par 4 Birdie: Hidemichi Tanaka 10.0%
(Tiger Woods (1) 21.8%)
I was surprised with the par 3 and par 4 birdies stats which seemed much lower than I expected. I was also surprised to see how low Tiger was ranked in the putts per round category..wow.
