Every player's index after every qualifying round, worked out with this site's maths — Net 2 caps, the tee actually played, best 8 of the last 20 — walked forwards through their whole record. All 12 charts share the same scale, so they can be read against each other.
This is the computed line for everyone, including the 4 who play off an official England Golf index. Where a player has one, it's marked so you can see how the two compare (Lucas's is marked but not used: he only posts his best rounds to England Golf).
Every round of the trip, counted the same way as everything else: Penha Longa for the four who went early, the three Aroeira rounds, and Monday’s bonus round for the seven who played it. The biggest rise is Jon, 19.7 to 21.9; the biggest fall Martin, 32.0 to 30.5. A trip round only moves an index if it lands in the best 8 of the last 20, or pushes a round that was in the best 8 out of the window.
The weekend itself was played off the handicaps from before it, and those stay on the front page, the shots page and the results. These are the numbers for next time.
