Well, interesting to some. And it's written to a general audience, so it highlights the flavor of findings, not technical details. I wasn't at this meeting, but I am a member of the Statistics in Sports group of the American Statistical Association and hope to be doing work in these areas eventually (read: unlikely while I'm still seeking tenure).

How do you win half a major? (Answer: get to the final round eight strokes behind half of a Rory Sabbatini. Zing!)
