Playoff boxes

[edit]

When a player loses a playoff, the score made by the other player (s) is the one that eliminates him. That's how the boxes are done across wikipedia. Jason Day at the 2015 Farmers, Phil Mickelson at the 2000 Byron Nelson and many more. One of the reasons for this- The score of the losing player isn't always known or sometimes the player who drops out doesn't finish the hole. Players A makes birdie, Player B misses his putt but marks his ball, Player C makes birdie. Player B didn't make par, he didn't finish the hole. That happens all the time....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 21:26, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the message. Whosnext23 (talk) 22:39, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing, and its good you are correcting mistakes, if you correct one player's playoff box, check the playoff boxes for the other people in the playoff if their box needs correcting too. I'd say 95-98% of the golfers who won for the first time on the PGA Tour 1960 or later have playoff and win boxes....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:41, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea and thanks again. I am slowly working my way through the PGA tour winners and tournaments. Whosnext23 (talk) 23:55, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1959 Open Championship, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Henry Cotton. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
