What is Bent scoring?
Average round score at courses with bentgrass greens — lower is better.
Raw stroke-play round scores at bentgrass-green courses; shown only with a meaningful sample.
How it's calculated
This is computed by OTIS rather than published by the tour: each of the player's stroke-play rounds is attributed to the green surface of the course it was played on, and the scores are averaged by surface. It uses actual round scores rather than strokes gained, so it covers players without ShotLink-measured statistics.
How to read it
Lower is better. Bent greens are widespread outside the south and the west coast, so this is the broadest of the three samples for most players.
What it doesn't say
The surface a player scores well on is confounded with the courses that use it. Bermuda greens are common in the south and poa on the west coast, so a green-type average partly measures which tournaments a player enters and how strong those fields were, not just how they putt on that grass. Treat it as a hypothesis worth checking against strokes gained on putting, not as proof that a surface suits somebody.
