A few observations:
Doak now has 4 in the world top 100. Pacific Dunes (13), Barnbougle (35), Cape Kidnappers (41) and Ballyneal. Ballyneal debuted at 82 on the world list, and at 46 on the U.S. list. Sebonack debuted at 76 on the U.S. list.
More than half of all raters who voted for Pine Valley and CPC say both courses are in the world's top three. That puts them far ahead of all other courses, including TOC.
North Berwick, Swinley Forest and Machrihanish all cracked the world top 100. So diod Nanea, which is ranked just a little higher than Ballyneal on the U.S. and world lists.
Friar's Head leaped to 33rd in the world, up from 74.
Torrey Pines is rated 74 in the U.S. That is above Sebonack, Crooked Stick, The Creek Club, Myopia Hunt and Yale.
Bellerive, at U.S. 91 (!?), is moving up the list.
The course rated 100 on the U.S. list has a score that probably puts it 150 or so in the world.
Banff did not make the world 100 list. Neither did Jasper Park.
GM says Erin Hills is a good bet to make the next world list.
