Only the 2 players that did not have the best shot play a 2nd shot.  If the best 2nd shot is not on the green, the best 2nd shot is selected and all other players pick up their ball and place it within one handspan of the best ball. Only the 2 players that did not have the best 2nd shot play a 3rd shot. This sequence continues until a best shot lands on the green at which point all 3 players can putt.
