Vs field: average per round minus that year's field average (negative is better). Prize money is shown only where it is known (2014, 2015, 2021, 2026); career winnings count only those years. Click a year for the full results.

Note: Built from the published result sheets (1998–2026). Some years list rounds only in part; a round count of 10 is assumed for 1998, where only totals exist. Names are merged across spelling variants.
