  When you move up a tier your scores get reset.  So your first ranked score as a tour pro was +2 for nine or +4 for 18.  As you get more games played as a tour pro your average will start to level out more and you won't get any wild swings in your average.

  What he said - new tier, new start.

  Alas, average calc. is not based on +-Par but on gross scores. Your 38 is doubled for ave. calc => 76 is your average of one game.

  The following scores will contribute until you have played enough to saturate it. Then only the best 25 ranked strokeplay games will form your average until you tier up again, with a 67 average.
