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

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.

    • 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?
