*Avg FIR, Avg GIR, and Avg Driver Dist are approximate. They cannot be hand-recalculated from the cards below (two rounds show SG splits instead of FIR/GIR, and most cards show only a long-drive figure, not a round average), and Arccos cannot isolate SCGA One Day Series rounds from practice and casual rounds — so there is no clean source for these three across the exact 11-round individual set. Treat them as estimates. Scoring Avg (77.1), Avg Putts (31.5), and Individual Events (11) are verified directly from the cards.

Strokes Gained is the only stat that tells you exactly where shots are being lost or gained relative to a scratch-handicap baseline. Every number here comes directly from Arccos Gen 4 Smart Sensors tracked in real competition, not practice rounds. Arccos tracking started May 16, 2026.

Takeaway: Driving was a new season best at +1.3 (289-yard long drive, drove the 16th green for a birdie) — the speed work travels to any course. But every lost stroke lived inside 100 yards: five chunked 60- and 56-degree wedges drove the −2.7 approach and −1.6 short game, and the two par-5 chunks on the 8th and 18th turned reachable birdie holes into a bogey and a double. A first competitive look at the November One Day Series Championship venue — the driver is ready, the wedges are the project.

Takeaway: First tournament back after 38 days off — and the data reads exactly like a layoff round. Driving was the season's best at +0.9 (9/14 fairways, no missed rights, 266 avg), proof the neck and the speed work held. The damage was all short: putting −3.3 came almost entirely from 0–10 feet (−3.5 SG across 22 putts), the single most layoff-sensitive stat there is, and two fat wedges from routine yardages over the last three holes drove the −1.4 short game and part of the −1.5 approach. A round tracking 74 through 15 holes became 79. Second-worst overall SG of the tracked season — but for the most fixable reasons: touch, not mechanics.

+0.5

Takeaway: Putting was a new season-best at +0.5, carried by lights-out play inside 10 feet (19 putts, +2.1 SG). Approach was the real cost at −2.2 — the second-worst approach round of the season behind Monterey, driven by 50–100 yard wedge shots and any approach out of the rough. Two 3-putts from 10–25 feet knocked the putting number down from what it could have been. Same −4.2 total as San Juan Hills, completely different cause: that one was a driving collapse, this one was an approach-and-short-game leak with the putter picking up the slack.

Takeaway: Worst driving round of the season at −3.9 — the right-miss penalty pattern in full effect on a course that punishes offline tee balls. Approach was neutral at 0.0 (scratch baseline). Putter held steady (+0.3) and kept the round from completely falling apart. The −4.2 overall came almost entirely off the tee.

Takeaway: Best driving round of the season (+0.6) and the putter contributed — but short game gave back 2.0 shots. 33% up-and-down rate on 0–25 yard chips was the culprit. Tee-to-green solid; scoring broke down inside 50 yards.

Takeaway: The outlier round — and the data makes it clear why. Driving and approach were both manageable; the 83 came almost entirely from the putter at −6.9. 40 total putts. Lost 3.7 strokes on putts inside 10 feet. Missed the cut by 6. This was a putting collapse, not a ball-striking collapse — which is both useful and painful to know.

Takeaway: First Arccos-tracked round of the season. Approach cost nearly 3 shots against scratch — the under-clubbing/short-miss pattern Arccos has flagged consistently. Short game and putting both positive, which kept this at 75. The approach data here directly led to the one-club-more adjustment that produced the career-low 67 at Coronado a few weeks later.

Methodology & Scope

All data sourced from Arccos Gen 4 Smart Sensors + Link Pro, processed automatically via the Arccos platform. Strokes Gained benchmarks are calculated against a scratch (0 handicap) baseline — not the PGA Tour average. Arccos tracking started May 16, 2026; earlier 2026 SCGA rounds are not included.

All individual stroke-play rounds are included regardless of SCGA event type — One Day Series and qualifying events both count. Two-man and alternate-shot formats (Scramble, Chapman, Four-Ball) are excluded because partner-play distorts individual SG attribution — this is also why Pala Mesa (Net Team Chapman, Jul 13) does not appear here despite being a completed 2026 event: alternate-shot play makes it impossible to attribute individual strokes gained. Net Stableford rounds are included when shot-by-shot data was captured; the scoring format does not affect SG calculation.
