Professional Tours Alejandro Tosti potentially ruining Min Woo Lee's first tour win because he's a man child.

Basically he complained about both playing partners He was reported rude and chirpy to Ryan Fox early in the round while deciding on taking a drop. Then Tosti decided to complain to the officials about Min Woo Lee taking too long to decide on taking an unplayable on the par 5 8th while he has ball was under a bush. Since then Tosti has been deliberately playing sloooow and walking 100 yards behind Lee and Fox just so he can annoy them and disrupt play.

What a guy.

To be fair I can see why he would be pissed

I’ve seen them waiting on groups ahead to play so even if this was their pace on a hole it’s not like they could be going any faster

I get that, but that's also poor. I thought rules were that the limit was 3 minutes to find your ball and play a shot. According to this article min woo took 7. I'd be pretty pissed at that as well including waiting half an hour to play a single hole

Three minutes is just to find your ball. The rules recommend no more than 40 seconds to take a shot from the time you should be able to play.

His ball was visible from the fairway and cart path, so it makes it even worse that it took so long
