U.S. Open
When guys on the PGA Tour play slowly, I can't help but be critical of them. I'm not alone; Tiger Woods has complained about the pace of play, too.The problem? Players aren't ready to hit when it's their turn. During the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, for example, Sean O'Hair took nearly a minute and a half to play his shot at the par-3 17th after the green had cleared. That's too long.The irony is that O'Hair didn't play college golf where the pace of play is deliberate and where players ingrain slow-play habits.The tour has rules to discourage slow play, but it has been 16 years since a player was penalized a stroke (for two bad times). If we saw more penalties, we'd see faster play.
