Having a conversation yesterday during lunch about Tour players going low. Assuming everybody was firing on all cylinders, what your player goes lowest?

JT has the most rounds on tour 64 or lower since 2014/15 with 21. Couple that with him having shot 59 at the Sony, and he seems to be the player that has the ability to go the lowest.

If I was putting money on someone at a tournament to post a low round, I think I'd go JT. I think Rory is far and away the best when he's playing his absolute best, it just unfortunately doesn't happen enough.
It should be Rory as well as he drives it. He wedges it so bad from time to time. It almost eliminates his advantage.If I was putting money on someone at a tournament to post a low round, I think I'd go JT.

I was thinking Rory for a long while. Although I am not sure I can think of a single thing in Rory's game that he does better than JT in that regard. Maybe driver, but its super close.
JT goes a bit under the radar in terms of his game. He's also proven a lot that he can shoot really low. Rory's long game is insane though, and while JT is no slouch there, I think Rory still edges him out there and that would take it for him. It wouldn't be far off though obviously, as about 58/59 seems to be the cap anyway. JT would be pretty damn close in that match IMO.
One thing to be said for Rory, is even with how bad his wedges and putting can be, look at his career. He's had that career and time and time again he's just simply a bad wedge player/putter.
So maybe firing on all cylinders doesn't help him as much as we think it does?
I would think he would have more sub 64 rounds genuinely than I saw in my quick search. Just seems based on memory so good from tee to green, but Im wondering if a lot of that on my end is rose colored glasses in some ways.
I think JT has the most wins since 2015 too. While I am not a big fan, I think sometimes we mistake firing on all cylinders to mean play better than they are capable.

...golf does seem to have that limit of ability around 58/59...
World Record is currently 55.
