'That Is A World Class Shank' - Justin Rose Delivered One Of The Worst Shots You'll See On The PGA Tour This Year

I like Justin Rose, he's one of those guys that has just been around forever, always fun to see him contend at The Open and becomes an enemy during the Ryder Cup. But, this? I think I love him now. I don't care what you claim as a handicap, you've been in this situation once in your life. Feel good after a drive, get up and think you're comfortable over the ball. Next thing you know you're laying four and have your friends laughing in your face. Oh I promise this will happen any time a group lets you play through. One of the people in your group will top a drive or deliver a shank in the fairway. You then have no choice but to feel like an asshole in that moment. 

Now back to Rose here. Absolutely brutal to have the announcer hit you with a world class shank. It's bad. You can't spinzone it. Rose knew immediately with the club flying out of his hands. You can't have the camera on you and an announcer hit you with a world class shank. Hilarious, but that's the last thing you want to deal with. 

It's just one of the worst shots we'll see on Tour this year. It's one we need to see though. Every Tournament I see these guys stick irons, drill putts, whatever good shots you want to list here. Scramble for a par? Sure, that happens all the time on Tour. I need to see more of this. We're about to start golf season here once tornados stop hitting Ohio. Need some confidence that even Justin Rose will hit a world class shank before I do.
