So you will see that their first-round score in our Current Event results table doesn't actually reflect what they scored on the card, it is their score minus the handicap start they had, eg. Patrick Cantlay shoots 67 three-under-par plus his starting handicap of ten under equal's thirteen under par and so on through the field.
For the rest of the tournament, their actual score will be entered providing an ongoing true record of their overall score to par.
