But as was pointed out, if a guy who doesn't practice much decides to get
serious about a tourney, he can improve quickly. Not everyone, but some
people can. I know I could, by practicing my short game. When I do, I
improve. But usually I'm too lazy or busy, you pick. It's much easier to
just complain and moan about my short game. :)

The odds of shooting substantially
below your handicap.
http://www.usga.org/handicapping/articles_resources/Odds-of-Shooting-an-Exceptional-Tournament-Score/
The chart says you had a 1 in 7246 chance of this
happening.
Given your 'cap and your scores you should have spent the
night after the tourney celebrating a once in a lifetime
achievement.

hdcp or better probably a fair amount of the time.
Conversely if you play the tips, and that course rating is
say 6 strokes higher than par then you might NEVER shoot
your hdcp (relative to par).

case - it wasnt 100%.
