The issue is about compelling architecture -- not exclusivity. Two completely different items.

Matt, I was merely stating that a very small percentage of courses are in the top 100.  I understand about compelling architecture.

Candidly, I see LV being lucky to grab a top ten spot in Pennsy because of the competition within the Keystone State.

For you LV may be a top 100 course -- I think Jim F said it best -- Digest raters may like it a lot -- but Golfweek ones will likely pan it and give it much less of a grade. The differences between the panels generally reflects the key priorities each has for course standing.
