Top 3 choices are:

1. Phil (He's always the top contender)

2. Rory (Because of his distance if he pulls one, it's gonna end up in Northwest Kentucky somewhere)

3. Tiger (for obvious reasons)

I'm a little confused by this. Are the choices limited to these three players? Or are you picking three players who you think will hit awful shots?

Oh sorry.  Those are just my top 3 choices. You can choose whomever you think.

Well my next question is, how do you measure the worst shot? What if some random unknown pro hits the worst shot and it's not aired on TV?

Well obviously I mean a shot that we will all be able to see while watching the tv coverage. It could be a bad drive, snap hook into the water, topped ball or swing and a miss. We don't need to get too technical.  Just our own humble opinions about who hit the worst shot.  I personally think Phil is gonna try a big draw somewhere and it's gonna go dead straight or even fade. Rory is gonna SMASH a drive 345 that might snap hook and Tiger is definitely gonna put one OB somewhere if he plays.  I should have put Bubba in there also.

There will be club pros well out of their element who will hit worse shots than any which will be televised. This is a bogus question.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

I guess if it's not

My god, is it really that serious? I mentioned above that I'm talking about shots that will be shown during the coverage. Why the %$#!% would I be talking about a shot that nobody will see?

I think these are valid questions considering the vagueness of your thread title. It's a very hard question to answer as there will be literally be over 20,000 shots taken in this tournament. Anywhere from the tee to the green. Tee shots, approaches, short game, putts, recovery shots, etc.

Someone will double-cross a snap-hook into the trees.

Someone will miss an 18-inch putt.

Someone will chunk a shot that won't clear a pond by 30 yards.

I have no earthly idea who will hit each.

You know that you wanted to say that each one would be either JD or TW

Okay. It will be Michael Block. Or one of the other list of club pros in the field. Since they will likely be affected by the pressure more than the tour pros.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
