Everyone is talking about it, but no one seems to be doing anything for him.
Dottie pepper There were plenty of it.
The issue, of course, is the slow game in PGA Tour and things are getting quite funeral this week at Farmers Insurance Open.
Most people agree that a golf round must end in four hours or less. If the last group of the final round of Saturday at Torrey Pines from Harris English, Andrew Novak and Aldrich Potgieter would leave after four hours, they would have finished only 12 holes.
Now the conditions are brutal at Torrey’s South Course on Saturday, a strong 7,566 -yard test that was playing at nearly 30 MPH speeds. And of course, PGA Tour’s 9.3 million dollar competition means that professionals will take their time with any shooting, but most would probably agree that a rhythm of 5 hours and 45 minutes is wild.
And it’s a long time to ask someone to sit in front of the TV and watch golf.
CBS leadership loved the explosive letter of Justin Thomas on TV
James Colgan
Saturday, pepper, Long CBS reporter on the course And the former LPGA winner went into the pace of the game during the final round.

Pepper was addressed to her colleague, CBS analyst And former PGA Tour Frank Nobloo professional, who simply replied, “Well said.”
The pace of the game has been a hot issue all week after last round of last week at American Express went 30 minutes beyond the planned cover window During the victory of Sepp Straka. There have also been increased pressure given the popularity of Tgl’s shot hour.
Then on Monday, Justin Thomas wrote a letter Its members by encouraging them to give more access and knowledge of PGA Tour broadcasts in an attempt to keep engaging in the tour of tour.
When Thomas wanted the players to give you more access and knowledge, he probably did not intend for players to do so by giving viewers more of a broadcast.
