‘Put On a F***ng…’: After Slow Play Row, Struggling Patrick Cantlay Gets Thrashed by Fans for Another Bizarre Choice

The Ryder Cup hype is reaching its peak as the tournament is underway at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome. The golf world is excited to watch their favorite players duke it out on the golf course. But even so, the attention of many of the enthusiasts was locked on Patrick Cantlay, and for a weird reason, no less.

Cantlay has been known for his extremely slow pace at events. But what intrigued the community this time around was not his pace on the course but rather a bizarre choice he made at the biennial tournament, earning the wrath of many!

Patrick Cantlay’s weird on-course choice at Ryder Cup

The golfer has been involved in a lot of controversies during his long career on the PGA Tour. His situation has not changed even after reaching the top ranks of the OWGR leaderboard and cementing his place in the US Ryder Cup team. But this time, it is his peculiar choice of looks at Marco Simone that earned the ire of many fans.

In the Foursomes that took place in the first session on Friday, the 31-year-old was seen going hatless as he paired up with Xander Schauffele. A lot of enthusiasts were surprised at the golfer’s choice and took to social media to show their discontent.

The professional has been called out by many of his peers for his slow pace of play at a lot of events, including the 2023 Masters. The golfer was accused of being exceptionally slow by his Ryder Cup teammate Brooks Koepka, who had to wait for Cantlay and Viktor Hovland to finish in order to play the same hole on the final day.

The first session saw Europe leading in all four of the matches and winning two of them. This had already enraged American fans a lot. And then the sight of a hatless Cantlay made it worse. Cantlay and Schauffele are currently 2-down against Tommy Fleetwood and Rory McIlroy.

It’s hatless Cantlay to blame for the poor show!

The 2022 BMW Championship winner has found himself in a different controversial situation as people call him out for his hatless display at the ever-prestigious Ryder Cup. It is now time for us to look at the responses Cantlay’s actions brought in from the community.

A hat is a must, especially if it’s a bit hot on the course. This fan is extremely upset by the careless behavior displayed by the golfer.

People are hilarious for sure. With Cantlay not wearing a hat, this fan thought he saw himself and it appears it’s not a pleasant feeling for him.

One can’t expect such a comparison to go on without a reply. Another person replied to the tweet as he hilariously likened the golfer to an American murderer and suspected serial killer Ed Gein. Woah! That’s a rough one!

A netizen mentioned how Viktor Hovland was not helping the European cause, for not playing as per expectations. But the thought was quickly contested by another fan who thought Cantlay was the problem for not wearing a hat. Can you believe it?

This user turns up the heat on Cantlay and says he looks like “the little-known accountant”.

A person can like the game of a golfer but hate their appearance, especially if some important gear like a hat is missing. Weird but it’s possible, no?

Phew, so much flak for the poor golfer! Why do you think Patrick Cantlay wasn’t wearing a hat on the course? There could be many reasons. He wouldn’t do it just like that. What do you think it could be? Do you think fans jumped the gun in the matter? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
