bump and run

Disrupt then chase

Bump and run has two main uses in sports.

In American football, it's a defensive technique where a cornerback makes physical contact with a receiver at the line of scrimmage to disrupt their route before dropping into coverage.

In golf, it's a low-trajectory chip shot designed to land quickly and roll toward the hole: A bump and run works better than a flop shot on firm ground.
