I can't think of a good way to do this *during* the tournament.  
I know if I was golfing, there's no way I could resist looking at 
the solutions.

But this is also why I setup a PGAS web service, which allows anyone 
to get their hands on *all* the solutions after the course is over.
This allows anyone who feels so inclined to have fun with the data,
present it in interesting ways, host their own post-mortem analysis,
or create a solution search engine.

Getting your hands on PGAS data is *very* easy.  Here's the API:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=46501

All you have to do is install Soap::Lite (see CPAN) and paste the 
sample client from the API above.  That's it!  Leaderboards, golfer 
info, and solutions-by-hole are returned directly into Perl data 
structures.

Let me know if you have questions/suggestions,
--Dave
