The European Tour travels to Shenzhen, China for the Shenzhen International this week. Which means one thing for golf fans: Hilariously awkward pre-tournament photo-ops!

This year's staged illustration stars Bubba Watson and Thorbjorn Olesen doing...well, we're not exactly sure what they are doing:

While enjoyable, the picture is a letdown compared to some of China's previous gems. Like this sword-fighting shot of Tiger Woods and Lee Westwood:

Or this beauty of Phil Mickelson, Ian Poulter, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Jason Dufner:

Here's Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Henrik Stenson and Bubba banging on the drums:

How that picture isn't beside the definition of "Kodak moment" in the dictionary is beyond me.
