I have not done an RGWR in approximately 3 months... And there may not be a ordinary one before the primary of the yr. Here's the deal: I turned into the usage of a application on an older laptop which turned into my fundamental pc after I started my ratings. Then the laptop died and I'm having to completely redo the document in a brand new software that I'm nonetheless studying. That's going to take a while.
In the interim I desired to provide an explanation for the modern-day RGWR Top5 inside the sidebar as it's some thing I've by no means had within the ratings earlier than -- three gamers who are essentially tied for #1 in the rankings. How did this occur?
Tiger Woods has led the RGWR for several months on the strength of his 5 wins:
- Farmers Insurance Open
- World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship
- Arnold Palmer Invitational
- THE PLAYERS Championship
- World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational
But it isn't. Two different gamers have come on late inside the year to mission Tiger's domination of my rankings.
Adam Scott is 1a in my rankings. He has 4 worldwide wins so far:
- The Masters
- The Barclays
- The Australian PGA Championship
- The Talisker Masters
You may want to argue that the two present day wins were in opposition to lesser fields, but I could argue that they have been performed beneath large strain -- after all, that is Adam's first journey returned domestic in view that prevailing the Masters and it's a victory tour of types. Under that strain he won the Aussie PGA (finishing the Triple Crown -- only 6 Aussies have ever achieved that) and defended his identify at the Aussie Masters. This places him in role to win the Triple Crown in a unmarried year, a feat completed best as soon as before. All carried out beneath the pressure of being the "fatherland hero."
In different words, Tiger has greater sturdy wins but Adam's is probably extra spectacular. And undergo in thoughts that Adam continues to be gambling properly.
Henrik Stenson is 1b in my rankings and he may be the most interesting. His run begins the latest in the year, although he does have a win from last December. He also has 4 worldwide wins so far:
- South African Open
- Deutsche Bank Championship
- TOUR Championship
- DP World Tour Championship
Although Henrik has the fewest wins, you can argue that most of them were in opposition to the hardest fields -- he received the Tour Championships on each excursions! Injury has compelled him to withdraw from the SA Open this week, so he won't be protecting his identify and it may interrupt his run of right play for a while. Still, you may make a decent argument that Henrik is gambling better than all and sundry right now.
That's why you spot three gamers tied for #1 within the RGWR. These 3 have separated themselves from the relaxation of the p.C.... However now not from every other. If Adam can win the Aussie Open -- the third leg of the Triple Crown -- in a couple of weeks, he'll have made a totally real case for being solo #1 proper now. But I do not count on a clear winner to emerge earlier than someday in January or February 2014, in any case 3 have had a chance to tee it up in some big tournaments.
In the intervening time, I suspect there might be some extreme debates happening!
