We’re back with another YouTube Golf Power Rankings update and there was a lot of action from September 13th to September 26th.
The Handicap Tracker monitors scores from YouTube golf videos and calculates an in-camera handicap for each player. Here are the current top 10:
- Bryson DeChambeau (+9.5)
- Jason Day (+8.7)
- Ian Poulter (+8.1)
- Nick Voke (+7.3)
- Brad Dalke (+7.2)
- Ryan Ruffels (+6.9)
- Pavan Sagoo (+6.8)
- Sean Walsh (+6.7)
- Chance Taylor (+6.4)
- James Nicholas (+6.2)
- Wesley Bryan (+6.2)
Nick Voke made the biggest move into the top 10, climbing to fourth at +7.3. Wesley Bryan is also back in the top 10, tied with James Nicholas at +6.2.
Evan Thompson
An 8-under round will move you up the rankings pretty quickly.
Thompson shot 64 at Double Eagle Club, resulting in an adjusted differential of 9.1 under. It helped him jump 11 spots, the biggest move of anyone this update, and pushed his handicap to +3.6.
Nick Neal
Neal’s run at Torrey Pines continued and this time it ended with a club championship.
He shot 4-under on the North Course for an adjusted 6.6-under differential before shooting 2-under on the South Course for a 6.7-under differential.
Neal won the Torrey Pines Club Championship and climbed another eight spots to +5.1.
Luke Kwon
Kwon gained eight positions after two laps where the difficulty of the course played an important role.
He went 4 under on nine at Rams Hill for an adjusted differential of 5.5 under. He then shot 2-over at Torrey Pines, but that still produced an adjusted differential of 3.7 under.
Kwon is now at +3.5.
Sam Heung Min
Sam Heung Min also made a big move with rounds at Rams Hill and Torrey Pines.
He shot from 2 under on nine at Rams Hill for an adequate 4-under differential. His round of 3 at Torrey Pines was another good result once the difficulty of the course was taken into consideration, producing a 2.9 under par.
Those two rounds helped him climb six spots to +3.5.
Danny Elder
Elder isn’t slowing down after jumping 10 spots in our last update.
He shot 5 under at Monifieth Golf Links for an adjusted differential of 5.6 under. Elder gained another five positions and improved his handicap to +4.4.
It has gained 15 spots in the last two updates.
Matt Fryer
Fryer opened this period with a round of 2 under at Seascale Golf Club.
The round produced an adequate 2.4-under differential and helped him gain three positions. His Handicap Tracker number is now +0.5.
Josh Rutherford
Rutherford continues to move up the rankings.
He shot 2 under Dutch Legacy at Cragun, but the difficulty of the course made the round even better than the score suggests. It resulted in an adjusted differential of 5.4 below.
Rutherford gained two places and is now at +3.7.
Nick Voke
Voke’s attempt to break 30 produced one of the best nine-hole scores of the update.
He shot 6 under on nine at The Harvester, resulting in an adjusted differential of 8.7 under. Voke gained two positions and moved up to fourth in the overall ranking at +7.3.
Slumpy
Slumpy gained two spots despite shooting 5 over through nine holes at Links Hope Island.
This move had more to do with changes elsewhere in the rankings than a standout turn from Slumpy. Now it is at +2.2.
Joel Innes
Innes has also benefited from moving elsewhere in the rankings.
He shot 8-over at Links Kennedy Bay, but still gained ground during the period. His Handicap Tracker number is now 9.2.
The Biggest Handicap Impact (single video)
Evan Thompson had the biggest single video handicap impact of this update.
His 8-under 64 at Double Eagle Club cut 0.9 off his handicap.
Wesley Bryan and Danny Elder were next at 0.7. Bryan was 7-under through 14 holes in the final YouTube Golf Tour Event 2 while Elder shot a 5-under 66 at Monifieth Golf Links.
Nik Neal rounded out the top four. His 2-under 70 in the final round of the Torrey Pines Club Championship cut another 0.5 off his handicap.
