  • Second-Round Notes – Friday, March 20, 2009
    2009 Transitions Championship (The 13th of 37 events in the PGA TOUR Regular Season) Palm Harbor, FL March 16-22, 2009 FedExCup Points: 500 Purse: $5,400,000 Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club, Copperhead Course Par/Yards: 36-35—71/7,340 Second-Round Notes – Friday, March 20, 2009 74 players made the 36-hole cut at 1-over 143, which is the lowest since 2004 when 73 players made it to the weekend at even-par 142. After his first-round, 2-under 69, Steve Stricker fired a bogey-free, 4-under 67 in round two to claim a share of the 6-under lead with Nick Watney. His round-two score adds to an impressive 2009. Other than the first two rounds of the FBR Open (74-72) and the final round of The 50th Bob Hope Classic (77), Stricker has not posted an above-par round in any of the six stroke-play events in which he has started in 2009. The 2009 Transitions Championship marks Steve Stricker’s fourth start here. He missed the cut in 2004 and 2007, but following a final-round 66 last year, he earned T14 honors. Steve Stricker has held at least a share of a 36-hole lead, one of which he has converted one into victory (1996 Motorola Western Open). His most recent 36-hole lead was the 2008 Barclays, where he ultimately finished T13. Steve Stricker played his first nine holes of the tournament in 1-over. However, he has played his last 27 in 7-under. Additionally his accuracy has dramatically improved from round one to two.

  • 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.

    The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-monetary Incentives in Rank-order Tournaments Suggested running head: “The Burden of Glory” RAJA KALI Department of Economics. Sam M. Walton College of Business. University of Arkansas Henry Angus Building, 2053. Fayetteville, AR 72701-1201 [email protected] DAVID PASTORIZA* (corresponding author) Department of International Business. HEC Montréal. Chemin de la Cote-Sainte-Catherine, 3000. Montréal, Canada. H3T 2AT [email protected] JEAN-FRANÇOIS PLANTE Department of Decision Sciences. HEC Montréal. Chemin de la Cote-Sainte-Catherine, 3000. Montréal, Canada. H3T 2AT [email protected] The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-monetary Incentives in Rank-order Tournaments Abstract In an environment in which elite, highly-paid professionals compete for non-monetary rewards, we find evidence of underperformance. Our analysis suggests that choking under pressure from high-stakes non-monetary rewards is behind the underperformance. This implies that high stakes non-monetary rewards can create meaningful pressure on individuals and lead to worse performance, a distinct issue that has yet to be adequately examined. These findings come from an examination of the behavior of top US golfers competing to earn a place on the US Ryder Cup team via their performance in PGA Tour tournaments with differing allocations of Ryder Cup qualifying points. Keywords: Competition, non-monetary incentives, high stakes, choking, performance, risk-taking, intimidation The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-monetary Incentives in Rank-order Tournaments Abstract: In an environment in which elite, highly-paid professionals compete for non- monetary rewards, we find evidence of underperformance. Our analysis suggests that choking under pressure from high-stakes non-monetary rewards is behind the underperformance.
