Two days after Brooks Koepka called he and Viktor Hovland out for playing “brutally slow” Sunday at the Masters, Patrick Cantlay got a chance to defend himself.
Following his co-runner-up finish to Jon Rahm at Augusta National, Koepka was asked about the final round’s pace of play, which was just under 4 hours, 50 minutes, in his post-round press conference. Koepka responded, “Yeah, the group in front of us was brutally slow. Jon went to the bathroom like seven times during the round, and we were still waiting.”
Just ahead of Koepka and Rahm were Cantlay and Viktor Hovland.
