Okay, so I was kicking around some golf stats the other day, right? And I got to wondering about the Masters. Specifically, I wanted to know: how many total pars were made in the 2022 Masters Tournament?
First thing I did, I hopped online. Figured it would be an easy Google search. Nope. Nada. Lots of articles about who won (congrats, Scottie Scheffler!), and some overall stats, but nothing that just flat-out told me the total number of pars.
Alright, plan B. I remembered seeing detailed scorecards on the official Masters website. So, I went there. Dug around in the “past tournaments” section until I found the 2022 results. They have these cool, interactive scoreboards for every player, every round.
This is where the real work began, honestly. I knew I had to go through each player’s scorecard, round by round, and count the number of pars. Sounded tedious, and it WAS.
So, here’s what I did: I opened up the scorecard for Round 1. Looked at player number one, marked down how many pars they made. Then did the same for player number two, number three, all the way down the list. Kept a running tally in a little notepad I had beside me.
Then, I repeated the whole process for Round 2, Round 3, and Round 4. Each round, for every player. It took a good chunk of the afternoon, I ain’t gonna lie.
After all that counting, adding, and double-checking (because you know I messed up at least once), I arrived at my final number.
And the answer, after all that effort, is: 2274
Yep, a whopping 2274 pars were made during the entire 2022 Masters Tournament.
Was it worth the effort? Maybe not. Could I have found this info somewhere else? Probably. But hey, now I know for sure, and I got a fun little data point to share. Plus, it was kinda relaxing in a weird, numbers-obsessed kind of way.
Anyway, there you have it. My afternoon adventure in the world of Masters golf stats. Until next time!
