「打つ前に26回も」 – フィル・ミケルソンがパトリック・カントレーのスロープレーを皮肉る
Phil Mickelson took a hilarious swipe at Patrick Kentlay’s slow play after the latter got trolled on social media. The veteran golfer said that Kentlay shuffled his feet 26 times per shot and sarcastically stated it was proof of his peak physical fitness. On Sunday, August 24th, Patrick Kentlay carded a one over 71 in the final round of the Tour Championship to finish as joint runner up. While he played some exceptional golf last week, he once again came under scrutiny for slow play. A broadcaster named Jason Paige jokingly said that fans could see grass growing by the time Kentlay hit his shot. Phil Mickelson shared Paige’s post and took a hilarious dig at Kentlay. He shuffled his right foot 26 times. He wrote on X 26 times before he hit it. 26 by 36 other shots is 936 ft shuffles. That’s more calf raises than I’ll ever do. You also must be in peak physical condition to do this daily. So, let’s stop all the hate and appreciate that golfers are athletes. This isn’t the first time Patrick Kentlay has been called out for slow play. Over the past few years, slow play has been a major point of discussion, and experts have often called for speeding up the game to maintain fan interest. A couple of years ago, Kentlay admitted that he was slower than other players. I definitely take my time, he said as per Golf Magazine. And when I hit my ball on a bulkhead, I’m definitely going to take my time to make sure I make the right decision and try to get the ball back into the right spot. The eight-time PGA Tour champion also once said that slow play was more of a tour issue than a player issue. He explained that tricky situations naturally require more time. If you really wanted to make guys play faster, you would put the TE’s up and you would put easier whole locations and the greens would roll at 10 if you really wanted it to. And you hope it never blew more than 10 miles an hour, he said as per Yahoo Sports.
