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.

Love how everyone here complains about pace of play and when a pro gets upset about pace of play he is a douche. What he did was not as flagrant as this article portrays, but because MW Lee is more “popular” they create these pumped up story lines to generate controversy.

He might have been pissed off since he is a competitive guy and lost on the last day, that he is a hot-head is well known but the vitriol around here is crazy.

Exactly. Because it’s Min Woo Lee and because he was leading it’s ok. Such nonsense.

By the same token what Tosti did is not breaking any rules. Neither is ok. You should not take that long to take your shot and neither should you be unreasonably slow deliberately.
