Agree, too many people just don't like different from the norm.
Im a big BDC fan and he has proven to be an incredible player In his short career.
Everybody has a different pace if play that they are most comfortable with, Rickie plays very fast, too fast for some, JB plays too slow. Tiger used to be very slow .
The PGA has rules for how long a player has to make a shot, thats 40 -60 seconds. Many p,ayers exceed this on a regular basis, including Bryson....but he was much too long in this incident
"The PGA TOUR rules for pace of play includes the 40-second time limit, but also allows an extra 20 seconds (for a total of 60 seconds) under the following circumstances:
The first player to play a stroke on a par-3 hole
The first player to play a second stroke on a par-4 or par-5 hole
The first player to play a third stroke on a par-5 hole
The first player to play around the putting green
The first player to play on a putting green
Under both sets of guidelines, the timing of a stroke on the putting green begins after a player has been allowed a reasonable amount of time to mark, lift, clean and replace his ball, repair his ball mark and other ball marks on his line of putt and remove loose impediments on his line of putt.โ
Tour probably needs to enforce the shot time rule more, use a timer if you want to be consistent.
As you say, the fact that they don't means they don't care and don't see it as a big issue....
