For some reason Jessica didn't appear on the LPGA stats page back in late April. Too few tournaments? Anyway, she obviously made a big move on both pages. Lucky 6 also made a move up.

[Titleist_PT23]

Ryu and Lydia are just horrendous on these lists. Ryu rocked up the money list with $400k+ at the USWO though. Maybe she can have a decent summer after the slow start (like last year).

 

Edit: I noticed that Ryu's driving accuracy and GIR are both up about 5% from the last time I looked. Her play the last 4 tournaments (T2, T27 (blown 36 hole lead), T19, and T9) are much better than where she was at earlier this year; driving accuracy = 68% and GIR = 74%. She'd still be in the 100+ ranking for driving accuracy but GIR would be somewhere in the 20s.

 

Edit #2: Her instagram showed an Epic Flash Sub Zero driver. I thought she had this briefly after the Honma split - seems like it is back. Also had some type of Titleist TS headcover but not sure if this is a fairway or new hybrid.

[Titleist_PT23]

There's five players with a sub-70 scoring average; Jin Young Ko, Brooke, Minjee, Lee6, and Nelly. The four excluding Minjee seem grouped closer to the top in ballstriking/driving with Minjee a bit further down. Minjee's putting stats are better than I had thought (prior years too). Maybe I'm jaded by the missed putts late in tournaments when she's in contention.

 

Lydia and Ryu still doing better relatively speaking in terms of scoring (23rd and 38th). Some rounds held together by duct tape?

[Argonne69]

Scrambling can cover up a lot of ills....to a point.

I noticed Pavarisa Yoktuan in the top 10 for both ballstriking and total driving. She's in her 4th season, and has never had a top 10 finish. She's played 12 events this year, and has missed 7 cuts. Her best finish is 37T, and she's 114th on the money list. We spend a lot of time digging through data trying to find the golden nugget, but at the end of the day it's all about getting the ball in the hole in the fewest shots. Lydia is 108th in ballstriking, and 147th in total driving, but is 33rd on the money list.

@Argonne69 What are the numbers to the right of the names?

We spend a lot of time digging through data trying to find the golden nugget, but at the end of the day it's all about getting the ball in the hole in the fewest shots. Lydia is 108th in ballstriking, and 147th in total driving, but is 33rd on the money list.

So should that special quality be termed the "X - Factor"? Referring specifically to those players whose scoring average is lower in a statistically significant way compared to their peer group?

For Total Driving, the number on the right is the sum of the Distance ranking and Accuracy ranking.

 

For Ballstriking its the sum of the Total Driving ranking and GIR ranking. The lower the number the better.

 

For example, a player who is ranked #1 in distance and #1 in accuracy would have a Total Driving score of 2, the lowest possible. Jessica is ranked #6 in driving distance, and #42 in driving accuracy, so her total driving score is 48. Nelly is ranked #2 in Total Driving, and #2 in GIR, so her Ballstriking score is 4.

There are a number of players who simply don't get it done on the greens, or around the greens. Winners are great ballsrrikers who have a hot putter. Conversely, great ballstrikers who are poor putters rarely win.

Sounds like we need a Total Putting stat. Please get to work on that ASAP. We expect to see that no later than in the morning. Thanks :)

I guess we can see why Pavarisa doesn't have a top 10 despite being an excellent ballstriker. She's dead last in Total Putting.

Argonne is the man! Not that we expected anything else, but excellent work! And way ahead of the deadline that he was given. Impressive.

Interesting to see Danielle and Jessica ranked so high. So, what's missing? I think the key is avoidance of trouble, i.e. bogies or worse. A player can miss a fairway and green, have a one putt, but still walk away with a triple. Danielle is prone to big numbers, which is why I think she went winless for so many years. Scrambling is a big factor, but I believe it works itself into the total putts stat. A good scrambler is going to have a low number of total putts.

Virtual tie for 1 and 2 and then a pretty gap from there to 3.

 

But what I found most interesting is that the #3 ranked player in the Rolex rankings, Lexi Thompson, is all the way down at a tie for 41. Any ideas on what to make of that?

She's 69th in Total Putting. Keep in mind that the world ranking are really skewed towards top 3 finishes. When her putter gets hot, which is does from time to time, she finishes high. Otherwise she's down the leaderboard. She has four top 5 finishes this season, including a win. She also has a 10T. Otherwise her best finish is a pair of 26T's.

And to add to that, Lexi is also 69th in Total Driving despite her prodigious length off the tee.

I think this is another case where stats can be a bit misleading. She's 20th in greens in regulation, so while she does miss 36% of her fairways, the misses are not horrible in general. Similar to Brooke, who misses 30% of her fairways, but is 4th in GIRs.

Do you happen to know what Lydia's Total Driving rank was in 2014-2015 (I think she started to slide a bit in the second half of 2016 and the yearly figures were down despite winning a ton early)? Vs. the Tour Average, I don't think Jin Young Ko's driving distance is any better than where Lydia was then (basically, distance is not a disadvantage and they kill(ed) it everywhere else). Jin Young is a bit more accurate with the driver, so wondering where it all shakes out.

I'll run the numbers this afternoon.

[Argonne69]

Lydia finished the 2015 season ranked 8th in Ballstriking (Top 10%), and 14th in Total Driving (Top 10%). She was 60th in Driving Distance (250.39), 43rd in Driving Accuracy (75.4%), and 2nd in GIR (77%). This season she's in the bottom 20% in Ballstriking, and in the bottom 5% in Total Driving.

 

In 2015, So Yeon was #1 in Ballstriking, and Ha Na Jang was #1 in Total Driving.

 

[North Texas]

From April, 2018 to August, 2019 So Yeon Ryu has gone from 55th in Total Driving to 143rd. If I am recalling right, I think she starting working with Cameron McCormick several years ago and has seen her driving stats get worse during that time. Much like Jordan Spieth who also works with McCormick. Makes you wonder?

She did add a few yards, but at the expense of accuracy. As a result, she's dropped over 3% in her greens in regulation.
