According to the analysis, winners on the US PGA Tour received an an average of 52.51 points, compared with 42.54 points for their European Tour counterparts.

European Tour events only outranked  US PGA Tour events being played in the same week on eight occasions. Three of those events however were played after the Tour Championship, which is usually the season finale for most top ranked players.

The rest of the world does however seem to catch up in the couple of months after the Tour Championship. Predominantly US-based players such as Dustin Johnson (40 to 53), Davis Love III (52 to 79) and Scott Verplank (47 to 60) for example have all dropped significant world ranking spots after the Tour Championship.

Well, if you are Stuart Appleby, you get your Aussie coach to crank up the barbie and relax over a beer and perhaps a couple of reds. Oh, and you also Twitter your followers to let them know what to expect from you tomorrow in the final round. After 16 birdies and 16 bogies Stuart tells us that he is hoping for all birdies tomorrow. So, its official, the Twitter craze appears to be going mainstream at Augusta. When you get a top PGA Pro and coach twittering to each other over family BBQ you know that the world has indeed gone Twitter crazy.
