Golf world fed up with DeChambeau's slow play
Bryson DeChambeau is the talk of the golf world at the moment - for all the wrong reasons.
The world No. 8 is in the crosshairs for his painfully slow pace of play, which was on full display at The Northern Trust during this mid-range putt Friday.

DeChambeau's antics clearly tested the patience of playing partners Justin Thomas and Tommy Fleetwood, and several other members of the golf community have since chimed in.
Just look at Tommy and Justin, both looking completely bored. Slow players do this to their playing partners making the game less enjoyable. Problem is, the unaffected single minded twit in this instance, doesn’t care much for others.

When it’s as egregious as Bryson was last night, and if they’re already behind, then shot penalties should be handed out. Fines don’t mean anything to these guys. You’d only need to hand out a few penalties and things would improve quickly!

All the governing bodies need to come together and find a solution. It ruins the game for players, fans that watch live plus at home on TV. Something needs to be done and done now

Andrew I’m sorry you’ve stopped watching the @PGATOUR. There are a few players that continually disrespect their fellow pro’s and continue to break the rules without a conscience. It should be self policed but clearly this won’t happen.. so disappointing it hasn’t been stopped. https://t.co/yxfF2fFZ2D
