The United States men's national team is in Florida this weekend for their last international tune-up game before heading to Brazil for the World Cup.

Prior to their game on Saturday against Nigeria, the 23-man squad traveled to legendary TPC Sawgrass, the site of the Players Championship and home to arguably the most difficult hole in professional golf -- the No. 17 "Island Hole."

Several members on the team attempted to conquer it. Chris Wondolowski was the first to step up, and did so with gusto, but embarrassed himself in front of his entire squad. Michael Bradley was the only person to land his shot on the green.

Landon Donovan was nowhere to be found.

Too soon?
