If you have participated in a golf tournament, or if you have the opportunity to play an honorable golf course such as Augustanathana, Pine Valley, and Pebber Beach, you know everything about First Tea Jitter.
The nerves want to tickle the spine up and down, and your club will contact the ball. It is a feeling that all golfers feel nervous at one point in life. If you do not contact, or if God is forbidden from the first tea, you will probably feel embarrassed for the rest of the day.
But golf is an interesting game, sometimes this happens to the best players in the world.
Ask Tom Kim.
Kim, who played with Tony Finau and Andrew Novak in the second pairing, started the third round with 10 under and 4 shots behind Sep Straqua, the leader of 36 holes. 。 Kim used to play at many important events before, but for some reason he Topped with his opening tea shot At PEBBLE BEACH PAR-4 1st Hole.
The countless amateurs have been so many years of Peble's first tea for many years.
But what about PGA Tour Pro?
It doesn't happen very much -Francesco Morinari comes to mind immediately. Four years ago, the 2018 Champion Golfers of the Year broke through the opening drive with tea. Interestingly, the shot also came in the third round of the AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-AM.
However, unlike Kim, who put chips in search of a birdie in the first hole in a magnificent way, Morinari just summoned a bogey and continued to shoot 4 over 76 that day. Italians finally finished 59th after starting the weekend with 15th place ties.
Regarding Kim, he, 22 years old, created another birdie in par 5 to keep fighting his first victory in 2025. Even the opening top.
