The newly established Mrs. Cantlay concluded the wedding spam by posting a picture of her and Patrick Cantlay sharing a dance, with her wearing a white dress and the golf pro in a formal Tux. The room and the crowd seemed to be fading since the couple drew all attention to themselves.

The couple had been engaged for a while, and their relationship has been in the public eye for two years now. Their wedding in Italy was a beautiful and intimate affair with their close friends and family, and it was ideally the perfect offset to Cantlay’s Ryder Cup woes from Rome.

What went down with Cantlay at the Ryder Cup?

The Team USA Ryder Cup squad faced many issues besides just their gameplay last week, and at the helm of many of them was Patrick Cantlay. The World No. 5 was allegedly unhappy that players weren’t getting paid for the event in Rome, which caused a rift between him and the team. He even skipped the gala dinner and didn’t wear the team cap during one match, in protest of getting the pro paid.

Although his agent later claimed that the reason he didn’t wear the cap was because it didn’t fit well and that it had nothing to do with him protesting, the damage had already been done. The fans had erupted in unison against the PGA Tour star for his move, and he faced a lot of backlash!
