Patrick Cantlay's Slow Play Criticized Ahead of Presidents Cup

Patrick Cantlay arrives at Medinah for the Presidents Cup with a mixed reputation, known both as a reliable team golfer and for his slow pace of play. This duality was highlighted in a recent golf podcast where Trey Wingo humorously criticized Cantlay's lengthy pre-shot routine.

Wingo compared Cantlay's slow play to that of other athletes who are loved by their teammates but disliked by opponents. He noted that Cantlay's pace has been a topic of discussion in previous tournaments, including the Masters, where his slow play became a significant talking point.

As Cantlay prepares for his fourth Presidents Cup, he holds a strong record of 10-4-0 in the competition. Despite ongoing criticism regarding his pace, he remains a key player for the U.S. team, having previously formed a successful partnership with Xander Schauffele.
