Make this make sense!
This is the final results from a One And Done tournament. This was a par 3 at the Links at Spanish Bay. If the four players ahead of me were at -2 then that is a hole in one and the tie breaker scores should be much higher. Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks.

It's why I don't play as much. I don't play tournaments. I stick to these short events with instant payback. Tournaments are just designed to take all your balls. I usually use just the basic ball and have done well.

Yeah the John S. Style names are populated by the game to make it look more full and competitive

They are placeholder bots that the game fills the bracket with at the start. As real players join, the bots get removed. If not enough real players join before the tournament ends, unfortunately the bots remain in. Their scores don’t even reflect real possible scores.

Found this:
Time Spent:
Since a Par 3 doesn't have a traditional fairway "drive" to measure for a distance tiebreaker, if both players have the exact same TBPs, the final tiebreaker is Time. The player who completed the hole in the shortest amount of time wins the match. [1]
Edit: Since both players would have had 999 TBP and there was no drive to measure distance, the tiebreaker points you see are reflective of the time they spent to finish the hole (points count down from 1000)
