True...So

I listen to a lot of baseball, and I'm surprised at the amount of
trivial statistical info that passes for newsworthy. This is in that
category.

This is like saying the baseball MVP usually comes from the 5 players
with the best batting average or era. Or the president is usually comes
from one of the six highest spending candidates. Or in bowling, the
person with the highest score after 9 frames usually wins.

Or if you really want to stay in the golfing framework, you could also
say the winner is almost always in the last 2 grouping. Or the last 3
grouping.

Yes, when most games are 3/4 over, the teams doing the best often win.
Statisticians are paid to find obscure facts, and broadcasters need to
have something to say for 3 hours, but is it really noteworthy?

88% of the viewers of televised golf think that the statistical
commentary is asinine.

12% use the mute button.

Groups are sent out in reverse order of how they appear on the leaderboard.
In other words, the leaders go out in the last pairing, and the guys
farthest back from the lead tee off first.

The winner at The Masters has come out of that last pairing in each event
since Nick Faldo came from 3rd place (the next-to-last pairing) in 1990 to
win.
