I understand that. Maybe I overestimate the difference between a PGA Tour pro and a couple of +2's. I suspect the first guy would occasionally step up and hit a bad shot which then puts real pressure on the second guy. Maybe they're up to it, I certainly don't know.
I know that I regularly see a couple of guys with cards that are trying like heck to keep them so never played the Masters and I can't believe the shots they can hit.
No There is a huge difference between a tour pro and a +2. We know what the tour pro is going to do in this case. Question is what would the two +2s do.
In my experience talking about competitive +2s(not club +2s) those guys can generally hit every shot a pro can hit. Most of the pros separate themselves from competitive amateurs inside 50 yards. But if you gave the +2s two looks at every putt....
Like I said earlier, on a regular tour course with no money on the line or no paycheck, cameras, etc. and assuming these are competitive +2 players I would take the +2s 10 times out of 10 against a touring pro.
The more I think about it the more I don't think they could compete simply because of the crowds and the pressure. But if you took that away and just looked at it in the abstract so to speak two +2s in a scramble would go very low every round on just about any course.
