Master's Leaderboard Question

[Rockytop]

As I was watching the broadcast of the Masters, I noticed something on CBS's leaderboard. Now I know that theirs on the screen may not be official, but how should the scores be listed? I thought that players having the same current score, were listed according to what hole they were on....if you are on 11 and I'm on 8, and we both have the same score, you are listed ahead of me on the leaderboard.

At one time Tiger and his playing partner Choy, both were at 7 under. Someone else, I don't remember who, was on another hole, and he was also 7 under. When CBS would show their leaderboard on the screen, they would list Woods first, the other player on the other hole, and then Choy. How do they determine this? Is there a criteria I don't know about, or is it just by the player that pulls in the highest ratings?

Does anyone know?

Thanks.

Ratings. If Tiger is not on the leaderboard (Which isn't to often) he will be put on the board as a notable player.

Many tournaments also look at how you are doing for the day when you name is posted. If player 1 is -2 today, player 2 is E for the day and player 3 is +4 for the day and they are all at the same score. Player 1 would be listed 1st, player 2 2nd, and player 3 third.

Well...that doesn't work either. Just awhile ago Anthony Kim was making a move, was further along on the course, and Tiger, with the same score, was still listed ahead of him.

More of the public cares about how Tiger does than opposed to Kim.
