PTC Order of Merit
now were 3 events into the 12 event series i thought id start a thread looking at the latest standings as to who is in line to make it into the top 24 and a place in the Grand Finals event, as well as looking at who is in line to stay on tour by virtue of their PTC points.
My analysis to date is....
- At the moment there is a 3 way tie in 24th place in the order of merit
-At the moment there is a 3 way tie in 8th place of the non top 64 guys on tour
- Of the top 10 non top 64 players 5 of these are amateurs
- only 14 amateurs out of 138 entered so far have won any money from the PTCs to date
- 10 pros have yet to win a match in the PTC to date
And if we look at Bens position well his 6 wins to date in amateur qualifying count for nothing as we know, so with the 8th place of the non top 64 guys on tour sitting at £1,000 (the equivalent to the last 16 in a PTC) then you see the uphill battle he faces. For example this week he would have to win 6 games just to get into the mix and contention in the Order of Merit.
But Sharav, Wilson, Steadman, Jones and Williams have shown it can be done, so its up to Ben to produce the goods too.
