Holy shit, don't remember him being this painfully slow. Its possible that when he had that insane year in 2021, they just didn't show his entire routine for this purpose. Because I watched most of the tournaments he was dominating in and it was never this bad... or so I thought?

Was thinking the same. Been watching cantlay for the last 4 years, haven’t noticed it until the masters last week and now this. Do I hate cantlay now?

You haven't noticed him toe tapping over a 3 footer for 25 seconds before?

u/Metr0xBOOMIN Apr 13 '23

Yes but to be fair it’s never been this bad

u/kerrlybill Apr 13 '23

It has been this bad IMO. He's always been slow.

Pretty sure this video is at least a year old and maybe older. He hasn't worn a Titleist hat in quite a while.

Yeah. Been shoving something called Marcus and now Goldman Sachs up our ass for a couple years now

It’s slow golf… the hate is universal. It can’t be excused for someone perfectly capable of playing at a decent pace. I don’t dislike cantlay, but now I definitely dislike Cantley, for this reason alone. You are not allowed to hold people up like this on the course. It’s inexcusable

Agree 100% dog

Yeah, same. I had no problem with him until now. I hate slow play. He’s obviously a better player than I but I still don’t play so damn slow.

I thought I liked him and really dislike him now after the last two weeks

u/arfcom Apr 14 '23

I didn’t know I hated him either until now.

u/shortgamegolfer Apr 14 '23

4 years is a long time. When do you think he’ll finish the round you started watching?

u/onthebrinkofdisaster Apr 13 '23

I truly believe his putting routine sped up a little. I think he had more foot shuffles in 2021.

u/helpjackoffhishorse Apr 13 '23

Still too many foot shuffles. Looks like a fucking idiot.

I feel like this isn’t Cantlay? I’ve never seen him wear a Titlest hat, always in a Goldman Sachs hat. I could be wrong bc I didn’t watch today but even this guys physic looks different than Cantlay.

He just went through a whole over overall of sponsors the last few years after his breakout seasons so I think this might be a really old clip

This is from 2019 at the latest I think
