His final-round collapse at the Masters aside, something else irked Brooks Koepka Sunday afternoon at Augusta.
A slow pace of play — incited largely by Patrick Cantlay.
As the golfer ahead of the Jon Rahm-Koepka pairing, the duo was more or less at Cantlay’s timing mercy. Let’s just say he did not remotely operate as if anyone had to wait for him.
As he tried to recap the final round and what went wrong in the aftermath, Koepka wasn’t happy about the glacial lack of urgency. The golfer referenced Rahm having the time to take many bathroom breaks as an example of how slowly the proceedings moved along:
“The group in front of us was brutally slow,” Rahm told the press afterwards. “I think Jon [Rahm] went to the bathroom like seven times during the round, and we were still waiting.”
It’s unclear what effect this had on Koepka’s final-round performance, but this isn’t the first time he’s aired complaints about someone being way too slow. And at this rate, it probably won’t be the last.
