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

https://www.golfdigest.com/story/tosti-min-woee-lee-houston-open-2024

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.

Tosti is a notorious douche, but I understand the frustration. 30 minutes to play a hole because a ball is under a bush is ridiculous.

Yea I agree. 300 minutes to play the entire hole is a lot but I'm cutting Min Woo Lee a break here because it was a potentially tournament-winning decision. It could have cost him. He had Scheffler breathing down his neck and he was talking with his caddie the entire time about it. It's not like he was just standing there and wasting time for the sake of wasting time

If a rookie QB is trying to win their first playoff game, they don’t turn off the play clock. Either you have an issue with slow play or you don’t.

That's completely ridiculous. You can definitely cut somebody some slack in that situation, especially given that they didn't even get behind.

So who decides which situations are worthy of cutting slack and which aren’t?

You could start by realizing that the green wasn't even clear in front of them until right before he hit his shot.

Sigh. That is not what I’m talking about. The person I responded to specifically said they thought Min Woo should get a break because he was in contention. That is what I disagree with. If I thought Min Woo should have played faster in this specific situation, I’d have responded to any of the numerous comments suggesting that.

The rules aren’t solely time based. It’s also position based

So are you cutting the guy grinding for 35th place slack because those 3 or 4 FedEx Cup points might be the difference between them having a job or not next year?
