The ongoing Barracuda Championship at Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood is the only PGA Tour event currently following the modified Stableford scoring system. Emiliano Grillo is currently leading the scoreboard, having managed an early eagle in the 17-point round. Per the points system, Grillo finished the two rounds with 29 points.

Per the format, one player is awarded eight points for an albatross, five for an eagle, and two for a birdie. Zero points are given for par. For a bogey, a point is redacted. If it’s a double bogey or more, three points are taken away.

“Left a lot of putts short today,” Grillo said about his performance. “It could have been really good out there. Hit the ball well. Kept the ball in the fairway. Gave myself chances for eagles on the par 5s, which is kind of the key for this format.”

Additionally, Joel Dahmen – who finished first in Round 1 – is currently placed third.

Now, the Barracuda Championship awards  $3.5 million in total prize money. Like most tournaments, the prize pool will be divided amongst the participants.
