Would it surprise anyone that some of the 2008 stats on the LPGA website are wrong?  In my last post about Hound Dog''s Frankenstats I suggested what I think is a better way to rate the best putters on the tour.  Based on comments, I agreed to calculate some data from 2008. I entered the data into the equations and got a rating for Adjusted Putting Average. However, when I looked at the intermediate calculations, the values were not realistic. The putts per greens missed were too low to be true. Looking at data from individual tournaments, it is obvious that the Putting Average and the Greens In Regulation Percentage numbers are not correct. Those stats show the total rounds a player played but use another number of rounds to calculate the Putting Average and the Greens In Regulation Percentage. The LPGA uses the number of rounds where they actually keep the stats (tournaments in the U.S. and the Evian Masters). The mistake appears to be they also included rounds played in the Women's British Open but they did not have the numbers for Putting and Greeens In Regulation. Therefore, values for everyone who played the Women's British Open are wrong for those two stats.
