"Should be announcing", "Couldn't win my club championship": Kevin Kisner's TGL shank doesn't sit well with fans

Kevin Kisner left the golf community in shock over a shot he hit during TGL's Match 12 on February 25. The Jupiter Links Golf Club player hit the first shank in the league's history on the par-3 fifth hole.

With 177 yards to the pin, the 41-year-old made contact with the ball on the hosel of his club. Kisner was displeased with the outcome and finished his swing one-handed while saying, 'Shank,' after making contact with the ball.

One fan took to the comments section of the X (formerly known as Twitter) post to state that while he is a big fan of Kevin Kisner, he should give up his spot on Tiger Woods' TGL team to take up a new role as a commentator. The fan wrote (via X @NUCLRGolf):

"Kis should be announcing. Get a better player out there. I’m a big kis guy."

Meanwhile, a golf enthusiast called Kisner "washed" after he hit the shank. The X user commented (via X @NUCLRGolf):

"Kiz couldn’t win my club championship, washed would be an understatement."

Kevin Kisner is a part of Tiger Woods' Jupiter Links Golf Club team along with Tom Kim and Max Homa. One fan questioned the 4-time PGA Tour winner's position on the team.

"How did this man make this team lol," said the fan.

Here are a few other fans' reactions to Kevin Kisner's unfortunate shot last night (via X @NUCLRGolf);

"He's past his expiration date. Why is he still in TGL? He plays like a 20 HC nowadays," commented a golf enthusiast.

An X user said, "Every time I watch TGL, Kisner is on here playing golf like I do. It's almost like he's not a good golfer."

"Why is he even part of TGL? Is it for this content?," questioned a fan.

Despite Kevin Kisner shanking his tee shot, Max Homa placed the following shot within 4 feet of the pin for a par. The team also secured their first point of the match on the par-3 5th hole.
