West Virginia Open History Compiled by Bob Baker
West Virginia Open History Compiled by Bob Baker 1933: Johnny Javins, the pro at Edgewood Country Club in Charleston, defeated pro I. C. ""Rocky''' Schorr of Bluefield Country Club in an 18-hole playoff at Kanawha Country Club in South Charleston to win the first West Virginia Open. Javins shot a 76 in the playoff while Schorr had an 82. They agreed to split first and second place money but Javins got the trophy donated by George C. Weimer of St. Albans. Javins and Schorr had tied after 72 holes of medal play with 302 scores. Schorr held a five-stroke lead over the field and an 11-stroke edge over Javins after two rounds but faltered on the second 36-hole day. Schorr's troubles started when he took a nine on the par-four third hole, needing five strokes to get out of a trap. Javins began his comeback with a 69 in the third round to pick up all 11 strokes on Schorr. The West Virginia Professional Golfers Association was formed in a meeting a month before the tournament, with Schorr the first president. Leaders by rounds: first, Schorr 72, by one; second, Schorr 147, by five; third, Javins and Schorr, 227s. Johnny Javins, Charleston 80-78-69-75--302 I. C.

Assessing Golfer Performance on the PGA TOUR
Vol. 42, No. 2, March–April 2012, pp. 146–165 ISSN 0092-2102 (print) ISSN 1526-551X (online) http://dx.doi.org/10.1287/inte.1120.0626 © 2012 INFORMS Assessing Golfer Performance on the PGA TOUR Mark Broadie Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027, [email protected] The game of golf involves many different types of shots, including long tee shots (typically hit with a driver), approach shots to greens, shots from the sand, and putts on the green. Although determining the winner of a golf tournament by counting strokes is easy, assessing which factors contributed most to the victory is not. In this paper, we apply an analysis based on strokes gained, introduced previously, to assess professional golfer performance in different parts of the game [Broadie M (2008) Assessing golfer performance using Golfmetrics. Crews D, Lutz R, eds. Sci. Golf V: Proc. World Sci. Congress Golf (Energy in Motion, Inc., Mesa, AZ), 253–262]. Strokes gained is a simple and intuitive measure of each shot’s contribution to a golfer’s score and was imple- mented by the PGA TOUR to measure putting in May 2011. We apply strokes gained analysis to extensive ShotLink™ data to rank PGA TOUR golfers in various skill categories and to quantify the factors that differen- tiate these golfers. Long-game shots (those starting over 100 yards from the hole) explain about two-thirds of the score variability among PGA TOUR golfers. Tiger Woods is ranked ﬁrst in total strokes gained, and at or near the top of PGA TOUR golfers in each of the three main categories: long game, short game, and putting.

TYPES OF COMPETITIONS PLAYED STROKE COMPETITIONS Scores in stroke competitions are achieved by recording the stroke taken on each hole. The scores for all 18 holes are added up at the completion of the round to calculate the Gross score which is recorded in the Gross box. The Nett score is calculated by subtracting a player’s handicap from the player’s Gross score and is recorded in the Nett box. STABLEFORD COMPETITIONS A player’s score in Stableford competitions are converted into points at each hole played in relation to his/her handicap. The Stroke Index column on the score card indicates how many strokes a player receives on a hole. E.G. A player with a handicap of 12 would receive one stroke on each hole with a Stroke Index of 1 to 12 but would not receive a stroke on the other six holes with Stroke Index of 13 to 18. A player with a handicap of 19 would receive one stroke on each hole except when playing the hole with a Stroke Index of 19 where they would receive two strokes. The player’s score for each hole should be placed in the appropriate column (e.g. your score in the Marker 1 column) and the points in the Result column. If a player has played too many shots on a particular hole and cannot score any points on that hole they should pick up their ball to help speed up play. The points are added up at the completion of the round and recorded in the Nett box.

Reference Points, Prospect Theory and Momentum on the PGA Tour
Reference Points, Prospect Theory and Momentum on the PGA Tour Daniel F. Stone Jeremy Arkes Bowdoin College Naval Postgraduate School July 2015∗ Abstract We study the implications of prospect theory for novel reference points in professional golf: par for recent holes, for the round, and for the tournament. A potentially competing force is momentum in quality of play, i.e., the hot or cold hand. While prospect theory predicts negative serial correlation in better (worse)-than-average performance, the hot (cold) hand implies the opposite. We find evidence that, for each of the reference points, when scores are better than par, hot hand effects are dominated by prospect theory effects. These effects can occur via two mechanisms, greater conservatism or less effort; we find evidence that the former (latter) dominates for scores closer to (further from) the reference point. We also find evidence of prospect theory (greater risk-seeking) when scores are worse than par for the round in Round 1, and of cold hand effects for scores worse than par for the tournament in Round 3. The magnitudes of some of the joint effects are comparable to those found by Pope and Schweitzer (AER, 2011) and other related papers. We conclude by discussing how, rather than compete, prospect theory and cold hand forces might also cause one another. Keywords: reference points, prospect theory, hot hand, momentum, golf JEL codes: D81, D03 ∗We thank Joshua A. Price, Daniel H. Wood, Neil Metz, Yao Tang, Raymond D. Sauer, Dan Sachau and participants at the 2015 NAASE/WEAI meeting, and a seminar at Clemson University for helpful comments.
