Hohmann has 1,734 points before the 2013 US Open. After the event, he loses 96 points (from last year's US Open) and brings his score down to 1,638.
Corteza wont lose any points since he did not participate in last year's US Open (I assume). He currently has 1,409 points. Hohmann then leads 229 points.
Now here's the top-24 from last year and the corresponding points:
417 Van Boening, Shane
330 Orcollo, Dennis
292 Pagulayan, Alex
250 Reyes, Efren
229 Parica, Jose
229 Alcano, Ronnie
208 Appleton, Darren
208 Chang, Jung Lin
187 Feijen, Niels
187 Li, Hewen
187 Archer, Johnny
187 Shaw, Jayson
158 Wang, Can
158 Akagariyama, Yukio
158 Deuel, Corey
158 Dalfonso, Tom
137 Melling, Chris
137 van den Berg, Nick
137 See, Huidji
137 Ouschan, Albin
137 Hundal, Raj
137 Dang, Jin Hu
137 Strickland, Earl
137 Putnam, Shawn
If we'll base this year from the point system last year, Hohmann will be at 1,775 points while Coteza at 1,739 points. Very close. Hence, you are right. :smile:
Question is how much points do they give the winners? And how do they measure it?
