Putting Statistics in Golf

Here's a neat article in the Wall Street Journal on a new putting statistic recently adopted by the PGA that was developed by researchers at MIT's Sloan School of Management. The article gives a great rundown on the deficiencies of the "putting average" traditionally used to rate pro golfers, then explains in detail how this new statistic improves upon it. Cool stuff!
