Players can begin to drop their weakest scores next month. We will also see those who missed a month earlier in the year claiming their place on the leader-board as they record their ninth score.
Lysander was one of six co-winners of the September competition, with 77/80, so she extends her lead over the chasing pack. Dave moves ahead of Stephen into second place, but he is now 8 points off the lead.
Paul’s 73/80 moves him into a tie for 5th place and cements his place as the leading American. There was no movement in or out of the Top 10 this month.
There are nine Brits in the Top 25. However, star performance still goes to the New Zealander’s, with three in the Top 10, and a couple more lurking just outside the Top 25. There are four Americans in the top 25 but, surprisingly, no Canadians.
You need a 9-month total of 630 to maintain an average of 70/80 or higher, and the top eleven are all safely over that threshold.
Here are the leaders on the annual competition leader-board after nine months:
The annual score is the total of the best 9 monthly scores over the year.
