Big Three Stats - Final 2009

PrintMy longtime readers know that when I'm analyzing players' performances, I have three measures that I like to use - two of which are my own creation. They are Total Driving, Greens In Regulation and Total Putting. Before I get down to profiling the top players (as I love to do during the off-season), I had to get the numbers crunched for my two Frankenstats and build a spreadsheet to share with you the rankings of all 150 players for whom the LPGA published stats for 2009.
Big Three Stats spreadsheet - final 2009
The Top 20 of each category I'll list right here:
|
Total Driving 1. Lorena Ochoa 2. Angela Stanford 3. Na Ri Kim 4. Brittany Lang 5. Cristie Kerr 6. Paula Creamer 7. Jiyai Shin 8. Maria Hjorth 9. Sun Young Yoo 10. Becky Lucidi 11. Ai Miyazato 12. Shanshan Feng 13. Karin Sjodin 14. Kristy McPherson 15. Yani Tseng 16. Suzann Pettersen 17. Helen Alfredsson 18. Vicky Hurst 19. Seon Hwa Lee 20. Na Yeon Choi |
GIR 1. Paula Creamer 2. Cristie Kerr 3. Wendy Ward 4. Maria Hjorth 5. Brittany Lang 6. Sun Young Yoo T7 In-Kyung Kim T7 Lorena Ochoa T9 Karrie Webb T9 Suzann Pettersen 11. Yani Tseng T12 Angela Stanford T12 Ai Miyazato T14 Na Yeon Choi T14 Jiyai Shin T16 Kristy McPherson T16 Juli Inkster 18. Sophie Gustafson 19. Paige Mackenzie 20. Shiho Oyama |
Total Putting 1. Inbee Park 2. Jiyai Shin 3. Song-Hee Kim 4. Lorena Ochoa 5. Ai Miyazato 6. M.J. Hur 7. Michelle Wie 8. Natalie Gulbis 9. Amy Hung 10. Ashleigh Simon 11. Haeji Kang 12. In-Kyung Kim 13. Katherine Hull 14. Suzann Pettersen 15. Hee-Won Han 16. Catriona Matthew 17. Minea Blomqvist 18. Soo-Yun Kang 19. Sarah Lee 20. Sandra Gal |
Lorena Ochoa, Jiyai Shin, Ai Miyazato and Suzann Pettersen are the only players in the Top 20 of all three categories. Hmm...that's four of my top six for 2009, and the other two Top Six'ers are only missing from the Total Putting list (Kerr is 27th, Choi is 31st). Those lists correlated fairly well, didn't they?
I'm anxiously awaiting Tatkins' final Adjusted Putting Average numbers so I can compare his results with Total Putting. His method is a very good one that might have less outside influences than mine.
