2003 Hank Kuehne and Jeff Sluman Trailed Scott Hoch and Kenny Perry by Four Shots Entering the Final Round of the 2003 Franklin 2003 Hank Kuehne and Jeff Sluman trailed Scott Hoch and Kenny Perry by four shots entering the final round of the 2003 Franklin Templeton Shootout, but they used an eagle chip by Kuehne on the par-5 first hole and eight birdies in a nine-hole stretch from Nos. 6-14 to surge to the lead at 22 under. Then Kuehne, the PGA TOUR's driving-distance leader in 2003, sunk a 4-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to defeat the teams of Shaun Micheel and Chad Campbell, and Brad Faxon and Scott McCarron.

Calcavecchia 72-70-63 205 60,000 2002 Lee Janzen and Rocco Mediate started the final round of the 14th annual Franklin Templeton Shootout with a three-shot advantage. That lead evaporated quickly, thanks to a birdie binge from the field's young guns, David Gossett and Matt Kuchar. With the two teams tied at 30-under par, Janzen stuck a smooth 8- iron from 157 yards on the final hole to 3 feet. Mediate tapped in for birdie to secure a one-shot victory over the former U.S. Amateur champions and the team of John Huston and Jeff Maggert. R. Mediate/L. Janzen 65-60-60 185 $250,000 each M.

Mattiace 68-70-62 200 57,500 2001 A 30-foot eagle putt that sprung off the long blade of Scott McCarron on the par-5 17th boosted he and partner Brad Faxon to their second consecutive Franklin Templeton Shootout victory. John Daly and Frank Lickliter could only manage birdie on the reachable 17th and finished two off the pace. Faxon-McCarron added another birdie on 18 to secure a come-from- behind victory and the $450,000 winner's check. They are the first team to successfully defend in the 13-year history of this event. It was the third Shootout victory for each, as Faxon won with Fred Couples in 1994 and McCarron rode the long putter of Bruce Lietzke to victory in 1997. "It seemed like it was going to be between three teams, and after we got off to such a hot start it was between two teams," Faxon said. "Every time we would make birdie, they would make birdie. It was just a great competition." Faxon-McCarron closed with a 15-under 57 in the scramble format, while Daly-Lickliter posted a 60. The winners finished one shot off the tournament record set by Couples and Raymond Floyd in 1992. "It's amazing how good 15-under-par is when you think about it now, because you need to have so many good things happen, but you really do get disappointed when you make a par," Faxon said. Two pivotal holes were almost identical for the champions, on another perfect day at Tiburon Golf Club. It started on No. 1, a 572-yard par-5 with a green that's not too receptive. After a well-placed tee ball on the left side of the fairway, Faxon and McCarron had 240 yards to the pin. Faxon lofted a soft 4- wood to the middle of the green that came to rest about 35 feet from the hole. McCarron putted first, and the ball grazed the left edge of the cup but didn't drop. Faxon, the PGA TOUR's best putter, stood over the eagle effort, put a little less pace on the ball and it dropped for what they called the perfect start. Daly and Lickliter had a chance for eagle as well, but neither putt fell. Then came the 17th, a 534-yard par 5 that played relatively easy this week. Faxon-McCarron had 243 yards to the pin after another drive that found the middle of the fairway. "Brad hit a great 4-wood to the front of the green, and that kind of gave me the go-sign to carve one in there," McCarron said. "I hit a really good 3-wood, and made about a 35-foot double breaker." That was the first time all day Faxon and McCarron found their names atop the leaderboard. Though a 3 that was posted on the scorecard after exiting the fifth hole was an innocent-looking par, it might have been the most important number of the day. If nothing else, it may have kept McCarron dry for the remaining 13 holes. The fifth is a punishing par 3, usually into the wind, measuring 223 yards. After a tee ball quite some distance from the pin was chosen, the first putts were less than stellar. Faxon and McCarron, both proficient with the flat stick, were left with a testy 10-footer for par. They coaxed it in, breathed a healthy sigh of relief and proceeded with a confident stride to the sixth tee. "If you miss that putt and you make bogey (in a scramble), you might as well jump in the lake right there," McCarron said. Of the 13 birdies and two eagles they made Sunday, only one shot was gained on the par 3s. Daly and Lickliter played steady for the first 51holes of this tournament, but two errant shots coming home may have cost them the title. The first mishap came on the par-3 16th, where the best tee shot was situated on a bed of pine straw. Even after exercising the right to move the ball one-club length, it required a delicate pitch and short putt just to save par. The 17th was supposed to set up perfectly for the combination of Daly's length and Lickliter's accuracy. However, neither landed a ball in the fairway. They were forced to hit an approach from the all-too- familiar pine straw, and couldn't get a long iron to sit near the pin. The resulting two-putt birdie knocked them into second place. "I don't care how far you drive it," Faxon said. "It comes down to making putts. You still have to hit it on the green and make the putts, and they did that really well all day long, but they just happened to hit two balls that weren't in play. No. 16 was the first time all day they didn't have a chance at birdie, and 17 was the first time they didn't have a drive in the fairway." It ended up costing Daly and Lickliter, $85,000 each to be exact. That was the difference between first and second prize. Raymond Floyd-Stewart Cink and Lee Janzen-Joe Durant shared third place and pocketed $82,500 each. B. Faxon/S. McCarron 64-62-57 183 $225,000 each J. Daly/F. Lickliter 66-59-60 185 140,000 R.

The SAS Championship, an official event on the Champions Tour, returns to Prestonwood Country Club, September 20-26. Kite, a 19-time PGA TOUR winner, has seven Champions Tour victories in his four years on Tour. His most recent win came eight days ago at the 3M Championship when he sank three birdies in the last seven holes to win by one stroke over Craig Stadler, also committed to the SAS Championship field. Kite has seven other top-10 finishes this year. His victory at the 3M Championship ended a winless streak dating back to October 2002 and spanning 47 tournaments where he finished in second place six times. One of those second place finishes was last year’s SAS Championship. Kite recorded a career best single-round score of 61 at Prestonwood Country Club during Sunday’s final round, vaulting him from 34th place into a second place finish behind D.A. Weibring. “Tom made an incredible run at last year’s title, posting a score early, creating the stage for an incredibly dramatic finish,” said Jeff Kleiber, tournament director. “He’s one of the best golfers that’s ever played the game.

  • The ISOPAR Method: a Performance Analysis Project on the Shotlink™Database
    T U M W P e ISOPAR Method Michael Stöckl, Peter Lamb & Martin Lames Faculty of Sports and Health Sciences Connollystrasse 32 80809 Munich Germany [email protected] [email protected] June 27, 2011 Abstract e ISOPAR method is a method for characterizing the difficulty of golf holes and allows the per- formance of shots to be analyzed. e method is based on the ball locations provided by ShotLink™and the subsequent number of shots required to hole out from each respective location. ISOPAR values are calculated which represent the number of shots the field would require to hole out. ese ISOPAR values can, a) be visualized on an ISOPAR map and, b) lead to a new performance indicator called Shot ality, which is the difference between the ISOPAR values of the starting position and finishing position, respectively. e Shot ality score can also be used to determine how many shots were saved per shot, or per type of shot, with respect to the performance of the field. 1 Introduction In performance analysis, characteristics of a process which describe how an outcome was achieved are used to assess the performance itself (Hughes & Bartle, 2002) and are referred to as performance indica- tors. Classical performance analysis techniques in golf have focused on classes of golf shots (James, 2007), such as driving distance, approach shot accuracy and puing average (James & Rees, 2008). Measures like greens in regulation, average pus per green and driving distance are intended to describe players’ abilities to perform certain types of shots, yet these abilities are not actually assessed.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 23, 2018
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 23, 2018 Fred Couples Rounds Out 2018 Shaw Charity Classic Field —Six World Golf Hall of Fame members, 15 PGA TOUR major winners highlight deep international field— CALGARY—Boom Boom is coming back to Calgary! Fred Couples, who is the sixth World Golf Hall of Fame member confirmed to tee it up in Calgary at next week’s Shaw Charity Classic, added some additional firepower on Thursday to one of the deepest fields on the PGA TOUR Champions calendar. The uniqueness of the city, the surrounding area and the connection with Calgary golf fans pulls the 2014 Shaw Charity Classic champion year-after-year to Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club. He is sure to once again thrill the more than 40,000 golf fans expected to line the fairways, August 27 – September 2. “Calgary has been a very enjoyable place for me. I have always said, as long as I’m healthy I plan on coming here every year,” said Couples. “The people at Shaw are incredible. The crowds are huge. The course is always in great shape and I feel like I can play it well. There is nothing more a player could ask for. I look forward to getting back there.” A crowd favourite since the tournament’s inception in 2013, Couples won the 2014 event in thrilling fashion after a career-best final round 61 that included a chip-in eagle on the 54th hole. He got sized up for a white cowboy hat after winning the first playoff hole over Billy Andrade.
