ON YOU (dude).

One trick pony is about right.-But plz tell us again how we arent true golf fans because we only tune in when history is being made and spend the rest of the time with our wives or families or friends when Pat Perez is playing well in some podunk TX tourney-OKAY?

Haha!

Wow. Texas bunkers look just like Quebec bunkers.

Pressure is starting to get to Bowditch, that last iron shot looked something like I'd hit not a pro.  I'm not getting Loupe, he takes all these practice swings that look completely different from the swing he makes over the ball.

Don't know if it was pressure or not, but that was pretty horrendous.

Did Na just slam his club into sand after leaving it in the bunker? Penalty?

Couldn't tell ... He scraped it on the ground in front of him a few times, but behind a hump from the camera. Presumably was wiping sand off face using grass outside bunker.

They're talking to him ... Looks like you ( @BallStriker ) were right!

Na got hit with 2 shot penalty, dumb move.  He can't get out of his own way sometimes.

That's not the bad part.

The bad part is before slamming his club down he backed off it twice, took 12 practice swings, and 47 wiggles.

That's incredible...I feel sorry for the marshals that have to hold their 'quiet please' signs up for a full minute +. Poor lil fellers.

What an absolute joke this Loupe guy is. HURRY UP!!!!!!!!!

What an absolute joke this Loupe guy is. HURRY UP!!!!!!!!!

I just saw his "pre-shot routine" for the first time. Good Grief!!!!! He must have learned to play golf all by himself. I can't see any respectable foursome ever inviting him back to play with them again.

Then after all of those antics he pulled the shot a mile left.

[Ernest Jones]

Loupe on the clock.

Deserves the double bogey. He's been put on the clock!! First time I've seen only one player in a group put on the clock but good on them! Absolute joke, this has to be the worst I've seen.

Is this, perhaps, because its 100% obvious that it's only him that is playing slow?

In the past, it's always been the entire group that goes on the clock, right?

Yes, it's clearly Loupe that has them two hole behind.  All these delays have to me messing with Kuchar's and Bowditch's mental focus.

Oh for sure it is, I can't imagine the impact it has on the other players. I know Kuchar is a stand up guy and probably won't make a big deal of it afterwards but you almost wish he was playing with someone outspoken to call him out on it.
