They shank in tourneys all the time. We just don’t see many on tv as we are watching the folks who are playing best atm


jarpio

They should start a half hour broadcast segment during the Thursday/Friday rounds and just follow around the players who are imploding. Call it “Pros playing like Joes”


abgolf

If you have ESPN+ you can actually watch the early start times and follow specific groups and you see a the good and the bad

Theegala shanks balls on the range on purpose to get loose. Coincidentally No Laying Up just released a pod on the shanks, and it has a lot of stories of pros getting the shanks or hitting hilarious random shanks


WVgolf

Shanks happen to pros yes.


goz008

Range and in the course. Shit happens to every golfer.


DontGetTheShow

There’s not many cameras at the range usually. So probably not specifically at the range. There are countless hours of YouTube videos of pros hitting horrible shots in tournament round.


Careful_Cheesecake30

Yes. They also top the ball on purpose as a drill. Assholes.

I saw Roy McAvoy shoot a chili pepper up Lee Janzens ass one time


spankysladder73

Yes


Intelligent-Search88

I once saw a video of Nicklaus doing it on 12 at Augusta. The ball came to rest in front of Rae’s creek. He got up and down for par.

Yes, Phil at the BMW Champ in 2018 hit my daddy on the range in the leg. Phil wasn't so nice tbh.

Theothergurlhere

huh? Your dad should’ve have been standing there? what does that mean?


NYR3031

Maybe Phil didn’t shank, your dad was just standing in his landing zone. Ever think about it?


Theothergurlhere

Please go look up BMW Champ 2018, the range layout has alot of spectors from all around. My daddy was not in the way. We got vouchers for their PGA store.


NYR3031

Ehhhhhh idk….


redwally48

He’s being sarcastic


Character_Wishbone84

He sucks at being a human

Finally an excuse to post my favorite video. Carl Yuan doing it every warmup: https://youtu.be/qyE6NA1FJ8w?si=vCFo49Vpgr_iPNCS


No-Material-452

There were a few bad ones in the TaylorMade Happy Gilmore video.
