Experienced caddies have seen it all in golf and Ian Poulter’s long-time partner Terry Mundy has revealed the slowest player he’s ever seen on the PGA Tour.
Slow play is something that angers most golfers around the world and at the professional level, it can get even more frustrating.
At times, it causes a bit of needle out on the course and there’s no doubting certain players try and hold things up to benefit themselves and annoy others.
The likes of Brian Harman and Tom Kim are notoriously slow players, while Patrick Cantlay more than takes his time over his putts.
However, according to Mundy, it’s another PGA star who has a reputation for being slow having once aggravated Adam Scott and Tiger Woods‘ former caddie, Steve Williams.
Why Tiger Woods’ former caddie was furious with Kevin Na
Speaking on the 19th – Uncut YouTube show, Mundy was asked who the slowest players out on the PGA Tour were.
And while he didn’t name one himself, he recalled how Kevin Na had rubbed up Tiger Woods’ former caddie, Steve Williams, the wrong way.
“It used to be Kevin Na. But I think he has sped up. I remember Steve Williams pulling Kevin Na over for being slow,” Mundy said.
“He was caddying for Scotty [Adam Scott] at the time and they had got in the scorers hut at the end and he said ‘Kevin, have you ever watched a movie?’ And he looked and said ‘yeah, why?’ He said would you watch it again. He said no I wouldn’t no. He said I can tell you, watching you out there today was like watching a bad movie over and over again and Na was like he can’t say that to me!”
Williams will have seen plenty of slow play
Given Williams caddied for Tiger during his time years and how good Tiger was at getting on with the game and still winning, slow play will have annoyed him.
The time he’s spent out on the course means he’ll have seen it all and this story from Mundy on Kevin Na is a bit of an eye opener.
It just goes to show that even in golf, the gentleman’s sport, that tempers can flare and frustrations boil over.
