• Iron Play B — well below the pool average in the 2025–26 pool; 69 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Precision from the fairway into the green — the single biggest driver of low scores.
• At A-, E. Cole's short game rating is well above the pool average (87th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — only 12 players in the pool rate higher. Scrambling around the green — chips, pitches, and bunker shots that save par.
• At A, E. Cole's putting rating is among the very best in the pool (95th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — only 5 players in the pool rate higher. Holing putts, especially the ones inside ten feet that turn pars into birdies.
• Course IQ B+ — modestly above average in the 2025–26 pool; 36 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Course management and shot selection — playing the smart shot, not just the bold one.
