The 2020-21 PGA Tour season has come to an end, with Patrick Cantlay being crowned as the FedExCup Champion. He won the final Tour Championship event with a stroke difference and earned the $15 million bonus. Meanwhile, Jon Rahm finished the event at -20 and a runner-up position.

We always feel a huge difference between an amateur golfer and a professional golfer. However, if we keep the experience aside, the only difference is that pros can handle bad shots way better than amateurs or leisure golfers. And as Dr. Bob Rotella, a renowned Sports Psychologist has said, “Golf is about how well you accept, respond to, and score with your misses, much more so than it is a game of your perfect shots.”
Hence, there is not much of a difference between professionals and amateurs. So the pros… they are just like us! And to support this statement, here are a few worst shots, including shanks, slices, hooks, chunks, pulls, three-putts, duffs, blocks, and more from the recent Tour Championship.
