Great point! Historically, players starting with -10 have a much higher chance of winning. Many recent tournaments have shown this trend as well.

I read that in the last decade, most winners were within two shots of the lead at the start. It really puts pressure on the players, doesn’t it?

In 2022, starting at -8 was crucial. It was those who started at that score who made it to the final shootout. It seems there’s a sweet spot.

Interesting! It would be good to look at how many past winners started at -8 or better, wouldn’t it?

Many players who start even at -5 can still compete, but it’s an uphill battle. There’s certainly an advantage for those starting lower.
