Did Patrick Cantlay Ruin The Masters for Brooks Koepka?

Patrick Cantlay's slow play during the final round of The Masters on Sunday has caused uproar among golf fans and players alike. Specifically, Cantlay's pace of play slowed the progress of Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm, who were forced to wait on each tee box for Cantlay to hit his shots. Even Cantlay's playing partner Viktor Hovland stopped waiting for him, sending not-so-subtle messages about speeding things up. Golf fans expressed their frustration with Cantlay's slow play, calling it "atrocious" and a "national disgrace." Koepka himself is known to despise slow play, and his struggles on Sunday may well have been caused, at least in part, by Cantlay's snail-like pace. Reports suggest that even officials at Augusta National were pulling Cantlay off the course to ensure the tournament finished before sundown. While Cantlay had a strong third round, his slow play prompted many to question whether he may have ruined the Masters for Koepka, who collapsed during the final round.
