Video: Who is worse at golf? Peter Odemwingie or Jordi Murphy?

Very different shots. Both equally bad.

Neil Treacy

Earlier today, we brought you this truly horrible attempt at a golf shot from Stoke City’s Peter Odemwingie.

It’s a shot this author has hit many times before, but it doesn’t make it any less funny.

Trying to hit a golf shot with a crowd is tough at the best of times, and although he’s used to playing football in front of tens of thousands of fans, mastering the big stick when you clearly don’t play that often is an altogether different story.

Odemwingie made a complete hames of the shot, pulling it sharp and left into the nearby shrubs, before asking about whether he could hit a provisional.

At the time, we assumed it would be the worst shot we’d see a professional sportsperson hit today, until Jordi Murphy stepped forward.

Filmed by his Leinster teammate Darragh Fanning (in SUPER slow motion), Murphy draws back a stiff enough looking swing, before walloping the driving range mat, before scuttling the ball into the tarp beside him.

We really don’t know which one was worse…
