Golf Reporter Silences TGL Player With Facts, Defending Against Patrick Cantlay’s Slow Play Accusations
The debate over slow play in professional golf has flared up once again, this time involving Patrick Cantlay. A TGL player recently took a shot at Cantlay’s pace of play, but a sharp-witted golf reporter quickly shut down the argument with cold, hard facts.
Cantlay has long been scrutinized for his deliberate approach, especially during high-stakes moments. However, when the TGL player made a comment suggesting Cantlay was hurting the game with his pace, the reporter countered with data showing that Cantlay’s average round time is consistent with many of his peers. Additionally, the reporter highlighted key moments where slow play from other players had gone unnoticed or unpunished.
This quick fact-check turned the tables, forcing many to reconsider the fairness of Cantlay’s critics. While the slow play debate will always be a hot topic in golf, this exchange proved that accusations should be backed by more than just perception.
What are your thoughts on slow play in golf? Should players like Cantlay be singled out, or is it a widespread issue across the tour?
