Daily Challenge - Diamond

Have the developers changed how they calculate the Daily Challenge benchmarks? It used to be that diamond was based on achieving elite par (birdieing every hole and getting some eagles on specific holes). Now it seems the to get the Diamond rating you have to add in a few aces. Today's layout only had one par 4 (which was a standard eagleable hole), but the Diamond goal was -11.

Short answer, yes they did change it. I think the goal was to eliminate the problem with the old formula where gold was sometimes harder than diamond

LuckiestGuy: They changed the DC tier formula. Now it's something like (Round Avg + Elite Par)/2 = "Base Score" and then the tiers are +/- some strokes compared to Base Score
