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. -

2009 Sony Open in Hawaii Round 1 Notes
2009 Sony Open in Hawaii (The second of 37 events in the PGA TOUR Regular Season) Honolulu, HI January 15-18, 2008 FedExCup Points: 500 Purse: $5,400,000 Waialae Country Club Par/Yards: 35-35--70/7,044 First-Round Notes – Thursday, January 15, 2009 Weather: High temperature of 76 degrees under partly cloudy skies; strong WSW winds at 15-20 mph. In the afternoon wave, Shigeki Maruyama fired an opening-round 5-under-par 65 to take a 1-shot lead over four others. In a day defined by high winds and sporadic rain, Maruyama managed to post six birdies and give up just a lone bogey at the par-four 12th. Shigeki Maruyama is coming off a particularly tough 2008 season where he withdrew from five of the 18 events in which he entered. His best finish of 2008 was a T25 here in Honolulu at the Sony Open in Hawaii. This marks the 11th time Shigeki Maruyama has competed in the Sony Open in Hawaii. Of the previous 10, he has missed just two cuts (1999, 2007). Of the eight cuts he did make, he has claimed three top-10 finishes at Waialae. While he has held a share of the 18-hole lead three times in his PGA TOUR career, each of which occurred in 2004 (U.S. Open, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Northern Trust), Shigeki Maruyama has never held an out- right 18-hole lead. By the way, none of the three in which he was co-leader after 18 holes yielded a victory. -

Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf
COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf Jeffrey Paadre This paper examines 10 years worth of PGA Tour Tournament data in order to examine whether or not clutch performance exists during the final round of a tournament. After controlling scores for differences in course difficulty, the paper finds no evidence of tangible clutch performance. The authors find that the perception of clutch performance is more likely attributable to talent differential between golfers. Assuming a normal distribution of golfer talent, it is possible that Tiger Woods can outshoot his opponents on the final day of a tournament as well as lose his lead to his competitors. Motivation and Literature In professional sports, heroes can be created through the concept of clutch performance. The perception of clutch performance occurs when an athlete raises his or her performance to an extraordinary level during the most important moments of a sporting event. Athletes such as David Ortiz and Adam Vinatieri have been immortalized as legends due to their consistent ability to help their teams win baseball and football games during important games where the outcome was hanging in the balance. Conversely Bill Buckner and Scott Norwood are amongst the unfortunate athletes burdened with reputations as choke artists based on their inability to perform well when their teams needed a high performance the most. One of the challenges that accompanies examining performance under pressure lies within trying to define which performances constitute clutch performance. For example, in 2005 John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, presented David Ortiz with a plaque inscribed “David Ortiz: The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox”. -
