This post shows the first 30 of 154 players with at least 5 tournaments played that I have rated. This rating is based only on 2009 tournaments. The Adjusted Putting Average (APA) and the position on the APA list are included. Note the small difference in APA between Creamer and Pettersen and the fact that they are 14 and 25 on the list. At this point one good tournament (a victory) can move a person up the list significantly. So while their overall play during the year has not been that good with 5 cuts each missed Brittany Lincicome and Pat Hurst are in the top 30 and only 84 and 91 respectively in APA and each has a stroke average over 72. I guess if I knew how, I could include the spreadsheet showing all 154 rated players and the complete list of Adjusted Putting Average.
It became necessary to change some of the calculations as I found some LPGA statistics have some partial round data and other do not.
Here is the complete spreadsheet - HD

how do you calculate rating and position? what do those mean in your analysis? thanks!
Truth has a well-known liberal bias.
rating and position
The rating is the actual number that comes from the Atkins Modified Hound Dog Rating System given in a previous post. The values will increase during the year and a value of above 9 at the end of the year indicates a dominate year by a player. It takes at least 5 victories to get above 9. I included the actual values to show how close the top players are to each other. The APA is the Adjusted Putting Average, an Atkins Frankenstat designed to give a better comparison of putting ability than the LPGA Putting Average stat. The position number is where the person falls in the list (1 the best putter and 154 the worst).
