Annual Competition Leaders (after 8 months)

Remarkably, half of the top ten produced their lowest score of the year this month. This means that some of the gaps have closed up. Hanoi moves up into the top five with his second consecutive winning month.

Of those who missed one or more months earlier in the year, both Kresten (63.6 average) and Fergus (67.7) are both very much in contention. After next month, players will start dropping their worst scores but, of course, those who missed a month entirely will still have the most to gain.

The leaderboard includes all players with at least six scores who are averaging more than 50.
