[Here's](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703791704575114071142473884.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_RIGHTTopCarousel) 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!
