2011 PGA Tour Putts Against Average 4.26.11

I've come up with a new statistic that I will call 'Putts Against Average.' It's similar to how they calculate 'Putts Gained Per Round', but since they have the resources to figure in things like difficulty of greens played and can increment putts further than 25 feet, it's not exactly like Putts Gained Per Round. What I found though was my rankings were very close to what the Putts Gained Per Round were in '09 and to some of the data I have from 2010 Putts Gained Per Round.

Here is what I have so far.
