    Sorry if this has been posted before but I was looking at the top scores for the WK-40 18 Hole Single Play and some of the top scorers in the Hack Class were Amateurs; is this because they did so well when they started the round as a Hack they were given the Amateur status?  Not trying to get people in trouble just curious about the system and if it's a glitch.

    No, it's because they were doing well outside the tournament, elsewhere. So, they got promoted in tier. But, they continue playing from their original tees in their original tier if it's a tournament, and this discrepancy can last the whole month, if it's a monthly tournament. An imperfection in the current tournament system that WGT may address in future.
