I look down at every division, and it appears that there are a limited of players within "putter" distance (50 points) of a Worlds Invite for North America.
Masters Currently have only 10 players qualified and 6 in "putter" distance.
I know we are still up against the stretch of 3 states, 1 regional, and battle roads to make up points, but compared with other divisions, the masters looks like it could end up light.
For comparison, Seniors, 20 players qualified and 14 in "putter" distance.
Juniors, 14 players qualified and 4 in "putter" distance.
Juniors could be an issue too, as most Junior Champions will not simply "get out of the way" for other players, and will try to maximize their points, not for an unsporting reason, but simply because it is kind of tough to tell a junior kid who loves the game why they can't (or shouldn't) play. No fun to have that conversation.
Hopefully, the season will play out, and enough people will qualify, but if not, I wonder if they will adjust the finish line at the end.
