hmmm there is a bias of some sort but not sure its due to players performing well, think its more likely to be players scoring average scores and maintaining their position.
Anyway I reordered by player name which is close to random and
1853 0
3543 1
3200 2
2758 3
2117 4
1603 5
1144 6
778 7
525 8
309 9
423 10+
18253* total
*slight difference because excel
So about 10% seems to be the number.
Still seems strange that players skill level doesn't materially affect the odds. I suppose it must be because the win/lose margins are very flat around zero, "1" on the table is the total of players winning matches by 1 stroke, 1788, and losing by one stroke, 1755.
