  there has long been issue with stats and how the are calculated. Dont know if anyone has mention this before, but here is a dandy. Playing Oakmont and hit all 7 fairways on the front 9. So im thinking nice 100% should help the stats but not to be. Here is my screen shot taken before starting the back nine.

  They calculate ther driving accuracy in a very obtuse manner. Any tee shots that you play with a fairway wood or iron (excluding the par 3 tee shots) is classified as a missed shot and affects your average.

  I know - it sucks.

  I'm guessing the green counts as the fairway on a par 3.  If you miss the green, you miss the "fairway."

     I had a round at SA front 9 yesterday where I hit all greens and got 88% GIR...I drove the 9th green(and stayed on the green) and can only think that this Very Old Bug has come back...thought it was gone :(.

     Par threes Do NOT have ANY consequence to fairways in regulation. Never have, Never will! Not even in this screwed up WGT land have they gotten that one wrong...or maybe now...

     The only possibility I can think of is that you either drove the 10th and missed the FW or the game counted the 10th Before your drive...or there is a bug ;-)
