What number belongs in the spot with the question mark below (and why)?

  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10
  0   1   1   1   1   3   2   4   4   ?

When I read the heading "Attention Sports Fans", I thought at once of the 2003 Australia/New Zealand (ANZ) Golf Championships, and of Australian golfer Shannon Jones. In the first round at the New South Wales Golf Course, Mr. Jones got the following totals on the first ten holes: 0, -1, -1, -1, 1, 3, 2, 4, 4, 6
So "6" replaces "?" in the riddle. "6" is the answer. (DJ, you really have to try to come up with tougher riddles !!! This one was really par for the course. :-)
