Q: Green Mountain Championships was Matt Orum’s 51st career top 10 at Elite Series and Major events (standard stroke play), going back to his 2nd place finish at 2005 Worlds. What will it take for him to get his first W, or will he be forever the bridesmaid?

A: If you take Matty O’s 51 top 10s since 2005 and divide by the number of years since then (18), you get 2.8.
On average, he’s finished inside the top 10 2.8 times per season. Until recently, he only played a couple of NTs/Majors a year, which basically means that he was getting strong finishes pretty consistently, even when he was just playing 3-4 ES/Ms in a year.
