AGNC course rating/slope is unofficial, so nobody really knows, but speculation from various sources I am gonna average those and say 75/140. Other may say it is harder but let's start there

A +2 handicap course handicap would be a 1. This player would only shoot his handicap 20% of the time, the other 80% above it. So let's say this person has a good day and shoots his handicap - he would turn in a 75, maybe 74 depending on the rounding/calcs. A superb outlier of a day, he shoots 69 or 70.
Could two +2 hdcps beat a PGA Professional in a round at Augusta? Yes...over 72 holes? No way. Statistics just don't line up.
EDIT: saying +2s are "near tour pro" is way off the mark. I have a +3 and can't even qualify for a USGA Amateur event. Stop and think what sort of handicap it takes to regularly shoot under par on a difficult course. You're talking +6-+8 range. I have some playing partners that qualified for the US Four Ball this week. They shot -8 in their qualifier. Great players. They also just finished runner up in a local Four Ball event, shooting 62-64 (-16), arguably an easier/"gettable" course. Both players are +1.6 GHIN hdcps.
In the USGA 36 hole stroke play qualifying to make the match play round, they shot +2. You had to shoot -8 in a two man best ball just to make the cut. https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/championships/2022/u-s--amateur-four-ball.html#!scoring
...now, a scramble is a bit different, I'll give you that, but even so... +2s aren't THAT good for this argument.
