Player history here

Rounds played, best finish, and scoring at this venue — cited from results, lower scoring is better. “Similar venues” is a player's scoring across every positional course of this type, the closest honest read on venue fit (Strokes Gained can't be split by venue, so this is scoring, not SG).
