He also led in every subcategory, with times ranging from 13.235 seconds overall to 1.239 seconds on the green. The Korn Ferry Tour began publishing speed-of-play data in May, providing a detailed breakdown of each player's pace of play. Korn Ferry Tour president Alex Baldwin stated that the data aims to offer greater context around a player's pace of play and the factors that may influence it during a tournament. The data is expected to enhance the connection between fans and the events occurring on the golf course. Other notable fast players included Nick Infanti, Jack Maguire, and Kevin Dougherty, who rounded out the top five.",
