Tournament's gotta be the best one, right? Ordinarily even if you could get a turn-2 Province you might not want one because it doesn't build your engine; but with three Tournament-Estates in your deck a Province is actively helpful to your engine.
You mean T1 CCCCC +Baker/ Borrow, Inherit Tournament?
T2 at best will give you $, right? EEEC (Draw CCC)

Or do you mean only try this on a Tournament board?

I mean of the different ways to get a turn-2 Province via Inheritance/Baker/Borrow, the Tournament one is probably the most useful (EEEC, draw CCC, plus Borrow again for $8) because it leaves you with a turn-2 Province and three (pseudo-)Tournaments in your deck.

Ah, forgot to Borrow again on T2!

Also:
5 Copper and Baker Token
Buy Borrow, Traveling Fair, Ball gaining Procession and Messenger, and Ruined Village, top-decking all three cards.
Draw these, and Estate.
Play Ruined Village.  Procession-Messenger, discarding deck, trashing Messenger and gaining Butcher.
After the -$1 Coin Token you have $3, three buys, and two actions in play.
Buy Borrow, Mission, and Alms, gaining Peddler.
Shuffle
Mission turn: -1 Card Token, Draw Procession, Butcher, Peddler, Estate.  Procession-Butcher, trashing Peddler on the second play and spending 3 coin tokens to gain Colony.

Only requires 5 events, 4 Kingdom cards, Baker somewhere, a Looter somewhere, and Ruined Village as the top Ruins!  And if you want to go crazy and maximize VP, you could Butcher the Estate into a Tunnel, as well as gain Border Village and Duchy off the Procession.
5 Events is apparently a lot though, DXV recommends two or less. Cool use of Ball though, can probably use a lot of other things than Messenger.
e.g. 5C, Borrow, Baker, Travelling Fair, Ball for Procession+Baron topdecked, drawing Procession+Baron+2E, Procession+Baron+Borrow=$8 for Province.

Yeah but with Messenger you can get a Colony.
