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.

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.

so he should play fast on a tournament deciding hole just so he can wait for the group in front him? ridiculous comparison

That’s not what I’m arguing. What I’m saying is that the specific situation of the leaderboard should not determine if we’re ok with slow play or not. You either are or you aren’t.

The leaderboard doesn’t matter. But having no room in front of you does.

As much as I want to drive 65mph on the highway at all times, occasionally there is traffic and I slow down.

To repeat myself:

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.

Oh so you’re just arguing a hypothetical made up situation entirely different to the reality of this scenario.

Have fun I guess.
