How to use it
Pick two champions and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first champion, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the strokes in the chosen unit. Try 1 Johnson against Faldo to compare record against 1996.
Totals are four round sums. Lower wins, so read bars inverted. Playoffs ignore extra holes. Par is 288 strokes each year.
