Jimmy Bullard
Bullard made the biggest jump of the period, moving up nine spots to a +3.3 handicap.
Playing Joshy the Golfer at Foxhills, Bullard shot 2-under through nine holes. That translated to an adjusted score of 3-under and continued a strong run in his Scratch Match series.
Mariano Di Vaio
Di Vaio posted one of the best nine-hole scores of the update at Pevero Golf Club. Playing as a +1.7 handicap, he shot 4-under through nine holes for an adjusted score of 4.7 under.
The performance moved Di Vaio up eight spots and improved his handicap to +2.3.
Danny Elder
Elder returned to Carnoustie Golf Links and made another big move.
He shot 4-under on the front nine, producing an adjusted score of 5.4-under on one of the more difficult courses featured in the Handicap Tracker. Elder moved up eight spots and now sits at +2.9.
Matt Fryer
Fryer had two rounds contribute to a six-spot jump.
He shot 2-over through nine holes at Machrie Golf Links where the course difficulty helped produce a strong adjusted score. He followed that with a 9-under round at Warrington Golf Club.
Martin Borgmeier
Borgmeier shot 1-under through nine holes during tournament play at Golfclub München Eichenried. With a 74.2 course rating and 137 Slope, the round produced an adjusted score of 2.2-under.

Ronan Moloney
Moloney gained three spots after the Fore Bros Major Championship at Trump International Golf Links Doonbeg. The difficult setup made his round more valuable than the raw score alone would suggest and helped lower his handicap to 9.4.

Had no idea about any of this. Seems sort of sad such a world exists where any of this matters.
