The lowest scorers, by and large, started on the back nine. It remains to be seen if that is due to the back nine simply being easier (Occam’s Razor) or if softer, earlier conditions made some of those pins more accessible. And of course, the 6th hole is playing as a par 4 instead of a five this week, so you can really subtract a stroke from everyone’s score on the front for apples to apples.
Edit: Screw William of Occam. It had to have more to do with softer conditions.
