Wold what would 15-Handicap shoot at the player championship? Now we know

What would be an average joe Shoot at US Open? In Augusta National? Or in any course prepared for PGA tour level specifications? It is a fun scenario to think but almost impossible to get an accurate reading of how a middle -level recreational player would be divided into the same course where the tournament players remove it.

Until this week.

On Wednesday, in front of the first round of the player championship, PGA Tour organized the second repetition of Classic creator, a showdown of eight holes presenting with some of the most followed social media stars. 10 participants included representatives from YouTube and Podcast Stalwarts Bob does sport, Barçkel And no paving, and included a wide skill of skills, from the winner of Grant Horvat Reported +2 Handikap to Trent Ryan of Barstool, which has reported whose ability is 17.

As a participant of everyone in the field, Ryan became a type of attitude for the rest of usAnd his performance revealed a lot about what a “average” player could wait to shoot in a stadium course configuration prepared for the good.

For beginners, Ryan did not hit a single road. Relative! His driving distance was average average, rising to 214 yards in his second hole, No. 11, where he still found a giant bunker from Tee. He did no pars, neither. The closest to come was his deception at no. 12, his third hole, when he cozed a 30 -foot blow to the length of the gimm.

Ryan lost his left, he lost right, he hit shots from approximate chips and exploded. He three times three times. At the time when he approached the iconic PAR-3 17, the island of Green, Ryan’s card looked like this: Triple, Double, Bogey, Quad, Triple, Triple, quinute.

Then, he hit not one, not two, not three but four Right shots in the water. But he didn’t stop. And, for the great pleasure of the gallery, his fifth shot found green finally. The one with two strokes for an occiple-bogey 11.

Ryan round was inspiring In some ways, however. It was proof that, yes, golf is difficult. But good for Ryan to try publicly and showing us how good the best players are.

His efforts in 17 were also a showcase as significant can be the small triumphs of the game. Finding green after four balls with straight water, Tin-Stili? That’s a feeling like no one else.

Creators will receive two more cracks in tour groups this year, in the Philadelphia Cricket Club and East Lake. Here you hope Ryan will return to the lineup.
