Not so in LA.
Some of these just :bomb: my mind:

There was a stretch in May when Ryan Moore hit 40 consecutive fairways.
The average PGA Tour player's longest consecutive fairways streak, by contrast, was nine.
Jordan Spieth made $3,879,820 in 2013.
That's more than Gary Player and Arnold Palmer made on the tour in their careers combined.
There were 11 five-putts on the PGA Tour in 2013, and 193 four-putts.
Sergio Garcia gained more than half a stroke on the average PGA Tour field putting.
That's more than a full stroke better than his stokes gained putting average in 2010, the year he switched to the claw.
Phil Mickelson has never won PGA Tour Player of the Year.
42 wins, five majors, being a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame and 700 weeks in the top-10 of the World Golf Rankings just doesn't cut it.
Tiger Woods won 38 percent of the prize money in the tournaments he entered in 2013.
Jim Furyk became the first player to shoot 59 with a bogey.
The five men who did it before him all finished bogey free.
Tommy "Two Gloves" Gainey hit 40 golf balls into the water in his 80 non-major PGA Tour rounds this year.
Five players -- Gary Woodland, Sergio Garcia, Freddie Jacobson, Luke Donald and Jin Park -- made every putt they faced from three feet and in (a combined 2,837 putts).
Only four players -- Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Stephen Ames and Richard Lee -- played the par 3s under-par in 2013.
Only twice since 2000 have less people finished under-par on the par 3s.
Tiger Woods missed 11 putts between three and four feet.
That ranked him 158 out of 180 players.
Billy Horschel hit 20 consecutive greens in regulation at the U.S. Open, including all 18 on Saturday.
Merion was the toughest course of the year, and Horschel became the first golfer to accomplish that feat in a U.S. Open in more than 20 years.
No golfer in 2013 led the field in driving accuracy the week they won.
Matt Kuchar was the only player on the PGA Tour to make at least six figures in eight different geographical locations in 2013.
Steve Stricker ranked in the top three on the PGA Tour in:
Driving Accuracy
Greens in Regulation
Strokes Gained Putting
Holes Per Eagle
Scoring Average
All-Around Ranking
FedEx Cup Playoffs Points
Par Breakers
GIRs From Fairway Bunkers
Par 5 Birdie or Better
Scoring Average Before Cut
Round Three Scoring Average
Par 4 Performance
Putting From 10 to 15 Feet
Putting From 5 to 15 Feet
Scrambling From the Rough
Back Nine Scoring Average
Rough Tendency
Total Distance Efficiency
Chris Stroud and Brendon de Jonge each had tee shots that flew with a hang time of just 0.8 seconds.
Or, to borrow a phrase from the average golfer: a top.
