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.

There is absolutely nothing hard to answer about this question.  I mean, my god, I wasn't asking anybody to be perfect to the 100th decimal place because it's your college final and you need this to graduate. It wasn't meant to be a research project. It's just a discussion point on a discussion board. I was just simply asking who YOU THOUGHT would hit the worst shot at the championship. Jesus guys, really?  What if I had asked who you thought was the best basketball player during the 80, 90s?  Would somebody come back and say "Well that's a hard question to answer" or  "That is a bogus question".    How about this one? Who will have the toughest defense in the NFL this year?  Is that too vague? Is that bogus? It's the exact same thing.

I think it's the random irrelevance of the question being asked. The worst shot could come from, well, anyone. The eventual winner could hit it. That's the random aspect of it.

The irrelevance is, well, just that. Who cares? It's one shot.

This is a brilliant thread!!

I think Ernie Els will hit one into a bunker on the 13th!!

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Phil will hit an errant drive that careens off a tree that hits a spectator in the head and breaks their Oakley prescription sunglasses. And in return Phil will reach in his pocket and hand her (3) hundred dollar bills with a hug!

So? Who ended up actually having the worst shot?

I heard the commentators say that Stenson borderline shanked/sliced one on 17 or 18.

Although he made a par - I'd nominate the Saturday drive on number 2 by Jason Day, across the creek and in the deep stuff

Players play, tough players win!

I think Ricky shanked one or almost shanked one at the end but it wasn't really that bad.

Tiger had some tee shots that were WAAAAAAYYYY offline.

Some random dude didn't carry the pond and dropped one right in the drink with a wedge (Pretty bad for a pro with a wedge)

In my opinion Tiger hit plenty of bad tee shots,  However, I haven't watched the entire thing yet so I don't yet have an opinion on who hit the worst shot that was televised.

    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
    • to confirm, I'll need a hotel for Friday and Saturday, planning to share with you

    • I wonder if the Saudis all kinda chuckle when they ask Greg how he feels about 72 holes vs 54…😃
