legit shot at winning it, will NOT win the Par 3 Tournament tomorrow. If it looked like they MIGHT accidentally win it, they would have their caddie, kid, grand kid, first cousin thrice removed, or even their agent hit their tee shot on a hole, which would result in a "No final score posted" finish.
That practice sometimes leads to the best moments, as in The Olden Bear's grandson making a hole in one awhile back. Nicklaus later said that memory was as dear to him as any major he ever won. Just one more reason he is Jack Nicklaus, and nobody else is.
