There is serendipity, and then there is Ryan Yip, Adam Schenk and Jhared Hack playing in a group in the final round at the News Sentinel Open on Sunday in Knoxville, Tennessee. Three of the worst possible names anyone could ever have in golf, and they're all paired together at the same tournament.

They're all playing quite well, too. All three were inside the top 15 about halfway through the final round in Knoxville. Schenk is the only one of the trio inside the top 50 on the Web.com money list. He's 45th. The top 25 on the money list get their PGA Tour cards for the 2016-17 season.
As Edward Loar joked, this is as much coverage as the Web.com Tour has received all season. Who knew it was as easy as grouping the three most perfect names you can find on that tour together. And who knew it would happen without the help of anyone else.
Best publicity web tour gets all year is for a Shenk Hack Yip pairing...solid
