BetUS Posts Odds on all things Torrey Pines PGA ChallengeWhen the following question, "What would an average golfer, someone with an 8- to 10-handicap, shoot from the same 7,643-yard championship tees at Torrey Pines South Course near San Diego under the playing conditions that the world's best players will face in the U.S. Open a few days later?" was asked to today's top PGA pros, to a tee (pardon the pun) they all came back with the same answer: They wouldn't break 100.
Since that day a few weeks ago an event was concocted pitting three celebrity golfers and one non-celebrity golfer against Torrey Pines and the pro's assertion that not one of them could break 100 on the course. The competitors will be Matt Lauer, Tony Romo, Justin Timberlake, and average Joe John Atkinson.
