U.S. Open and RBC Heritage champion Matt Fitzpatrick made his stance on slow play clear to Sky Sports on Wednesday: “It’s a disgrace… it’s truly appalling… It’s like hitting your head against a brick wall.”
Discussions about the pace of play are nothing new, but they were renewed at the Masters in early April, when runner-up Brooks Koepka called it out in his post-round press conference.
“The group in front of us was brutally slow,” Koepka said. "Jon [Rahm] went to the bathroom like seven times during the round, and we were still waiting."
Less than two weeks apart, there was one common denominator between Koepka and Fitzpatrick’s remarks: Patrick Cantlay.
