February 2015...Since the beginning of last season, 16 players have held a one-shot lead entering the final round on the PGA Tour.
Only five have won, good for a 31.3 percent clip. Rory McIlroy is the last player to convert a one-shot lead, doing so at the PGA Championship last year. Since then, five have tried, and none have succeeded. A two-shot lead isn't much safer in that span. There have been 12 instances of players holding a two-shot lead through 54 holes over the last two seasons. Only four have won. Outright 54-hole leaders PGA Tour last two seasons 1-shot lead: 5 wins/16 attempts 2-shot lead: 4 wins/12 attempts 3-shot lead: 3 wins/7 attempts 4+ shot lead: 6 wins/7 attempts In contrast, there have been 15 PGA Tour winners in that span who came from either one or two shots down entering the final round. So, in the last two seasons, winners who held a one or two shot lead through 54 holes: Nine. Winners from one or two back: 15. Inherently, there is a higher possibility of a winner coming from behind than holding onto a lead. Obviously, there can only be one player leading a golf tournament outright at any given moment. Everyone else is trailing. Sheer numbers make someone making a comeback the safer bet. |

Wow system99, the horse won easy too, well done!

not all one shot/ two shot leads are the same.
Advantage for Dufner is there are only 3 within 5 shots. |

Anybody got the stat on Dufner when he leads going into a final round? We already had a 5 leader winning in Abu Dhabi, which turned out to be an excellent tournament. Darren Clarke will be a happy man after seeing Pieters holding it together to the finish line.

By:
thanks catch me if you can and system 99
I am taking into consideration his experience...and perhaps lack of experience of his main rivals....also he has been **** hot on foist dozen holes this week...far better than his main rivals....can see him trading shorter fairly quick. |

By:
Somebody has backed Duf from 1.88 into 1.81. Took a fair few punters to do that. Unless there is one of the firms taking money and laying off.

Thought things might be toughened up but some really low early scores from likes of Harman and Kaufman. Dufner will need to make birdies to stay clear so the biggest question mark is his putter- been great so far but we've all seen him start to miss short ones, especially under pressure.

By:
i thought it'd be tougher aswell, irrelevent eventual winner if he starts slow could be a fun market, think i will have a little lay of duffs in the veiw to back back before halfway.
