‘Losing the Will to Live’: Golf World Giggles Over Billy Foster’s Viral Moment With Patrick Cantlay

Slow and steady may win the race, but not when it comes to golf. Patrick Cantlay’s slow play at the Masters has been a topic of discussion among golf fans since the tournament. Cantlay was criticized for taking too much time between shots, with some fans even speculating that Matt Fitzpatrick’s caddie was mocking him for it. A clip of Billy Foster has gone viral after Cantlay continued his slow progress at the RBC Heritage.

Some golf experts have weighed in on Cantlay’s slow play. Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee stated, “Patrick Cantlay is one of the slowest players on tour. He’s a gifted player, but he needs to speed up his game for the good of the sport.” Chamblee added that slow play is a problem across the sport and that more needs to be done to address it.

Despite the criticism, Cantlay has defended his slow play in the past. In a 2019 interview, he stated, “I’m going to do what I need to do to make the best decision for myself and my golf game. And if that means taking a little extra time, then that’s what I’ll do.”

As golf continues to evolve, there’s no denying that the sport has become faster-paced in recent years. Changes in the measure to speed up play and the use of shot clocks have forced some players to adjust their approach. But for players like Patrick Cantlay, who prefer a more deliberate style of play, the pressure to speed up can be a challenge. While some fans find his pace of play frustrating, others admire his commitment to taking the time he needs to make the best shot possible.

Experts and Fans Weigh In

Although Foster has denied any intentional mockery, fans have continued to share their reactions to Cantlay’s slow play. Many have taken to Twitter to express their frustration and poke fun at the golfer’s pace of play. One fan created a parody account on Twitter called “Patrick Cantlay’s Shadow,” which posts updates on the golfer’s every move on the course. After the clip of Foster went viral, one fan wrote, “Billy losing the will to live!”

Another user wrote, “You can even hear the golf ball reaching boredom and begging for the shot to be taken.”

However, there were a few fans who supported Cantlay.

As with any sport, there always will be a difference of opinion on what makes a good play. Some fans may prefer a faster game, while others appreciate the nuances of a slower, more deliberate style. And for Cantlay, it’s pretty clear that he is comfortable with his approach and has no plans to change it anytime soon. But one thing is certain – the debate over slow play in golf is unlikely to be settled anytime soon.
