Patrick Cantlay’s Controversial Habit Called Out on Live TV for the 3rd Time in Less Than 2 Months

You’d think competing for your country would inspire faster play, but Patrick Cantlay proved that old habits die hard at the 2025 Ryder Cup. The American golfer found himself under the microscope once again. This time, however, the criticism came from an unexpected source during live television coverage.

Nick Faldo, the legendary golfer turned commentator, couldn’t hide his frustration with Cantlay’s deliberate pace during a fourball match. The moment was captured perfectly on camera and quickly went viral on social media. “There is plenty of space but I don’t understand how…” Faldo said, his voice trailing off in clear exasperation. The comment came as Cantlay prepared for what appeared to be a routine putt, taking his characteristic time to line up the shot.

The GolfWRX post showcasing Faldo’s reaction has already garnered over 6,400 views and continues to grow. Golf fans immediately recognized the familiar scene – Cantlay taking extended time over his shots while others wait. The irony wasn’t lost on viewers either. Faldo himself was known for meticulous preparation during his playing days, yet even he seemed to reach his breaking point with Cantlay’s pace.
