Professional tour players have a massive advantage over club champions on harder course setups
The harder the golf course is, the bigger advantage tour players have. So if you go play like your local Easy Country club... the separation won't be as much as if we were gonna play like a US open setup. Like that's when you get a big separation where like a club champion would still probably shoot 90 at a US open setup.
Evidence from US Open qualifiers where high-level amateurs play on pro setups consistently supports this level of separation.
