Usually, when someone is accused of something, retaliation follows. Moreover, fans love it when their favorite athletes get back at someone with the help of sarcasm. Something like that happened at the Harbour Town Golf Links with Patrick Cantlay. He was accused of playing very slowly ahead of Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm’s group at the Masters. But now, he has done wonders at the RBC Heritage, and his two-word message is an on-point sarcastic reply to the slow-play accusation.

During the Masters post-round press conference, Koepka said, “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.” He was referring to the group of Patrick Cantlay and Viktor Hovland. Cantlay was accused of playing slow and ruining the probable victory of Koepka.

The fans were also not happy with Cantlay’s slow play. They suggested that there should be some action against slow players. However, while they were still playing the blame game, the pro golfer took over the Harbour Town Golf Links. Cantlay made his third career hole-in-one on Friday. He posted the video on Twitter and, taking a jibe at ‘slow play,’ wrote, “Playing faster!” He also tagged the PGA Tour and the RBC Heritage.

However, Cantlay tried to specify his side of the story ahead of the RBC Heritage regarding accusations. He said it was slow for everyone, not just Koepka. According to Sports Illustrated, he also explained why it was slow and said, “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.”
