• At D, Dunlap's power rating is the clearest weak point in the profile (4th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — nearly the whole pool rates higher. How far the ball goes off the tee — long hitters shorten every hole.
• At E, Dunlap's accuracy rating is a genuine liability (0th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — this is the single lowest mark in the pool. How often the ball finds the fairway and stays out of trouble.
• At B, Dunlap's iron play rating is well below the pool average (27th percentile of 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.
• Short Game B — a mild soft spot in the 2025–26 pool; 64 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Scrambling around the green — chips, pitches, and bunker shots that save par.
• At B, Dunlap's putting rating is a mild soft spot (41st percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 56 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Holing putts, especially the ones inside ten feet that turn pars into birdies.
• Course IQ sits at D for Dunlap, a genuine liability across the 2025–26 pool: nearly the whole pool rates higher. Course management and shot selection — playing the smart shot, not just the bold one.
• Nerve sits at B+ for Dunlap, a shade above the pool average across the 2025–26 pool: 46 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Composure in contention — how a golfer performs with the tournament on the line.
• Consistency sits at D for Dunlap, a genuine liability across the 2025–26 pool: nearly the whole pool rates higher. How tightly a golfer's scores cluster around their average, round after round.
• Engine A — among the very best in the pool in the 2025–26 pool; only 6 players in the pool rate higher. Stamina and durability across a long season — fewer withdrawals, less late-year fade.
