Viktor Hovland Adds Fuel to the Fire as Patrick Cantlay Controversy Triggers More Outrage After Latest Footage

The Masters Tournament was packed with adventure this year. From Jon Rahm’s first-ever green jacket victory to Tiger Woods’ sudden withdrawal from the event, it was a really bumpy ride for the fans. And how can we forget to appreciate the epic comeback of Phil Mickelson? However, this is not all. Adding to the essential news, Patrick Cantlay just made his way to the headlines after Viktor Hovland’s actions during the final round made it to the air.

What did Viktor Hovland do during the final round of the Masters?

With so much to focus on, the Masters Tournament has been nothing less than a treat for the fans. Golf enthusiasts were already excited to watch the potential battle between PGA Tour players and LIV Golf defectors at Augusta National. However, along with all the tour vs tour drama, fans are currently busy understanding what’s going on between these two PGA Tour players.

After being rumored to join the breakaway circuit several times, both Viktor Hovland and Patrick Cantlay were in the eyes of the fans on the Masters field. Although the former still hasn’t ruled out the option of switching tours, Cantlay has proven his loyalty to the American Tour several times. However, despite being on the same tour for now, the Norwegian star did something that is being presumed as his reaction to Cantlay’s slow play during the final round.

After making Rahm and Brooks Koepka wait for a really long time, Cantlay was still meandering on the fairway. But as fans could clearly see during the live feed, his playing partner Viktor Hovland decided to take a shot on the green before the American even made it to his position. Well, it was not very surprising since Cantlay actually took a very long time before making most of his shots in the tournament.

What was Brooks Koepka’s reaction to Cantlay’s slow play?

Being on the top of the leaderboard for most rounds, Koepka has always been one of the fastest players on the course. However, he had to pace things down a bit, thanks to Cantlay in the group in front of him. Although the golfer didn’t make any straightforward comments about another player, he definitely didn’t hesitate while stating what happened.

When asked about his pace during the final round being notably slower, Koepka responded, “Yeah, the group in front of us was brutally slow. Jon went to the bathroom like seven times during the round, and we were still waiting.”
