Davis McDulin and Blake Poe claimed the top spot at the first @BarstoolClassic qualifier of 2026. Blake was a 7.2 handicap index and fired an even Par 71 (NET 62) from the Black Tees at The Park. According to the United Sandbagger Guardian Agency’s (USGA) score probability table, the odds of Blake shooting a 71 were 1 out of 1,580.6. #TheYipRule #golf #journalism

@cuse78 @greenbackzach @YipStrickler @BarstoolClassic But the more astonishing thing which feels more cultural, is how incredibly resolute, smug and self congratulatory they are while simultaneously being wrong. It’s like they want to convince us they’ve followed Blake Poe and his scores for years….

@cuse78 @greenbackzach @YipStrickler @BarstoolClassic You’re only the second person to get this. It’s literally like a ratio of 95% of responses not realising the reason Blake Poe’s score is under scrutiny is BECAUSE HE WAS THE OUTLIER of the day in a large field. Despite it being the first line of stricklers tweet…

@evisnegative @ryanb1188 @YipStrickler @BarstoolClassic That’s the exact point I was raising. If people choose option 2 on every net golf tournament they’ll witch hunt every winner. The first line of stricklers tweet identified him as tournament winner, and then the deepdive into his score. It’s disingenuous.

Yeah I just mean I think 95% of people would likely agree with Ryan and not understand that it is a vastly different question to evaluate the probability of a specific golfer being a sandbagger if you: 1) Select them in advance, then they go into a tournament and shoot a NET 62 2) Wait until the tournament plays out then select the player who shot NET 62.

It's like you can't read. No one is saying his odds of doing it are 10%. What they are saying is that if you take 150 Non-Sandbagging golfers the odds of 1 of them shooting Net 62 is ~10%. | So just because someone shoots Net 62 in a field of 150, does not mean they are a sandbagger

@RetroGolfGame @OGChoe @ryanb1188 @YipStrickler @BarstoolClassic To take context out of it is selection bias. Sticklers first line introduces them as first place in the qualifier. There’s your selection bias. I’m astonished by the pushback on this. It may be he’s a sandbagger, but this isn’t conclusive evidence of it.

@RetroGolfGame @OGChoe @ryanb1188 @YipStrickler @BarstoolClassic But we’re only evaluating his score as a direct result of him winning the competition, hence field size is relevant. If Blake hadn’t played, the exact same tweet would have been sent with someone else’s name in and their “probability”. Just seems like a net golf witch hunt.

@ryanb1188 @YipStrickler @BarstoolClassic I’m not gonna spend my afternoon forwarding you the actual proof that you’re the idiot. Like a true idiot you can’t comprehend it. One thing the world has learned is how hard yanks have it at taking the Ls.

@betsbehavingya @YipStrickler @BarstoolClassic Again, Just because there was a 9% chance of someone doing it does not in any way speak to whether this dude cheated. It is still a 1 in 1580 chance, no matter how many competitors there are. Good Lord.

@stersing_ @YipStrickler @BarstoolClassic 2/2 That’s because the “1 in 1500” is for an individual player. When approx 150 players all have that same small chance, you’re effectively giving it x 150 attempts — which pushes the chance of it happening to someone up to around 10%

@stersing_ @YipStrickler @BarstoolClassic 1/2 It was a clunky explanation originally but it doesn’t stop it being correct. At the start of play the chances (assuming around 150 competitors) that someone would shoot a “1 in 1500 round” is approximately 10%.
