Patrick Cantlay is going to have a hard week. Finishing T2 at the TOUR Championship, after starting his day tied with eventual champion Tommy Fleetwood , was enough to gnaw on him. But now his infamous pace of play is making the rounds in the golf circuit, overshadowing his unlucky loss. And as if that weren’t enough, Phil Mickelson has finally jumped in on the entire debacle.
With several videos of Cantlay taking an agonizingly long amount of time to take a swing being circulated on social media, one such video was shared by sports commentator Jason Page . Taking a sharp jibe at the American, Page wrote, “ If you watch, you can actually see the grass growing under Patrick Cantlay’s feet.
