Going forward we will be adding Gooch certificates to our major championship past results pages.
e.g. Brooks' 2023 PGA win is certified by Gooch's +10 performance.

- He gained 5.2 strokes on his last 5 holes, 3.7 of which were with ball-striking—basically hit 8 perfect shots.Scheffler's win probability: 5:50 PM: 23% 90 minutes later: 77%

00:00 - 0.02%. Just gonna assume that's a new record.
@DataGolf what was Francesco’s chances of making the cut with one hole to go? Haha - Model might need to retire after today.
- 🚨Model update: Scottie Scheffler's win probability increased from 15.0% to 15.8% this morning due to a change in our weather forecasts for today.
- Scheffler is now #2 on our all-time (since 1995) list, barely edging out 2004 Vijay:
- 72 holes, full field, familiar venue, a cut. Pretty simple.
- Spaun's win probability bottomed out today at 1.4% at 3:40pm. He was +2, 5-over on the day, and 4 back of both Burns and Adam Scott. At 6:33pm he was still 4 back (thru 11) and just 1.8% to win. And then... birdied 4 of his last 7 to win the U.S. Open:
- Our 2 cents: we really need to get back to full-field signature events. Long days on Thurs/Fri, wave splits, guys battling to make the cut, Chad Ramey FRLs... are all part of what make golf unique. Sterilizing fields to 70 players just removes so much and adds almost nothing.
- Updated our plot from last week. Will Z's true strokes-gained through 9 majors is second only to Tiger at +2.8 per round.
- Seems like Charley Hoffman figured something out on 18 this week
