Both immediately jumped out to me as well. Its not perfect, or else I'd be rich

22. Sergio 23.5

26. Phil 21

37. Spieth 5
etc


Bolded their ranking by Vegas (1 being best odds, half rankings for ties).

Spieth is the real outlier there. Its because he's 148th in Strokes Gained, 108th in Scrambling, and 172nd in 3-putt avoidance

Its truly remarkable.

I block this out of my mind like past rape victims block out the abuse.
