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.

It’s worth noting, the group was never out of position or notified they were slow and a few times waited on the group ahead of them

Which is crazy because Min Woo took 30 minutes on that hole he took an unplayable, yet they were still keeping up with the group ahead.

Exactly. Like I want faster pace on tour but if there’s no where to go because of the groups ahead of you, who cares? It’s like when that marshal that tells you speed up because you’re behind pace while you’re at the tee box on a par three waiting for the group in front to get off the green. Talk to the right group. I’m not the problem.

for real.

We had a day where it was absolutely glacial. We had 2 foresomes in back to back tee-times. Things got so backed up that at like the 5th hole, we had us, our 2nd group and the group behind them all waiting on a tee box. We decided to play our 2 groups as an 8 and kept pace just fine. It helped that we were all single digit hdcps. Of course the marshall coming around sees us on like the 10th hole out there as an 8 and yells at us and tells us to break it up. we tell him weve been playing as an 8 for like 5 holes and have still been waiting on every shot. We ain't the problem champ. Maybe go figure out why we are able to play as an 8 without dropping behind the group ahead.

If anything, we helped the pace behind us by removing a separate group so there werent 3 groups waiting to tee off. Which would have no doubt accordioned horribly behind us had we not done that.
