“Still faster than some of the players sadly 😔”

While others were simply in awe at the speed of the four-legged terrapin.

“Storming the technodrome like 🐢🍕”

“Where’s that darn water hole?” wondered the 🐢”

“Looks like the turtle wants to contest and play golf”

Well, fans definitely had all kinds of reactions up their sleeves. However, it was pretty surprising of them to bring Cantlay despite his lack of involvement in the tournament.

Patrick Cantlay’s response to his trolls

Although the golfer hasn’t responded to any of the comments on the recent turtle video, he once came up with a sarcastic 2-word reply over similar accusations. After making his third career hole-in-one at Harbour Town Golf Links, Cantlay posted a video of the same on Twitter and wrote, “Playing faster!”

The golfer also tried to explain why it took him so long to hole in his putts during certain tournaments. “When you play a golf course like Augusta National where all the hole locations are on lots of slope and the greens are really fast, it’s just going to take longer and longer to hole out,” he said.

However, despite his explanation, fans aren’t willing to let go of the golfer over his history of slow pace. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments section!
