It would be interesting to know how may podium finishes in Nationals were due to a 500 ft save during the contest. After a certain number or percentage then I think you can argue that you'd really be changing the way the game is played with a hard deck. But if it's close to zero ....

Off hand, without doing any research whatsoever, I can think of at
least one USA Nationals, and at least 3 WGC's where this happened.
I'm sure there are many more...

I'd very much like to see the flight logs. These logs ought to be public domain, so let's shine some light on the subject.
