Anyone know if there is a set policy for listing players on the leaderboard when they have the same score? How is it determined in which order the players are listed?

Can anyone tell me what the rules are when a player during the course of a round improves by a stroke , and his name immediately goes up to the top of the other names who are at the same number . Is this the way it's always done , or is there more to the placement than what I've stated .

It disgusts me that the networks push Woods down our throats. It is supposed to be who went out first listed on top, especially if that person is already in the clubhouse. Today at the Masters Fred Couples is in the clubhouse at -5 and Woods is still on the course but they just couldn't wait to put Woods name on top.
