A long pre-shot routine at the par-5 sixth at Pebble Beach, followed by a brutal shot, was perfect fodder for slow-play critics everywhere.

It does not happen often — although Francesco Molinari immediately comes to mind. Four years ago, the 2018 Champion Golfer of the Year topped his opening drive on the same exact tee. Funny enough, that shot also came during the third round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Golfers of all stripes can identify with Tom Kim and the execution—or lack thereof—of his opening tee shot Saturday in the third round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Everyone gets a little shaky and doesn’t put their best swing on the ball.

Golf has a slow-play issue and the Golf Channel broadcast pulled no punches with Tom Kim after he took over a minute to hit an approach shot before wiping it into the penalty area. The post ‘Not worth the wait:’ Tom Kim’s slow play at Pebble Beach jabbed by broadcast appeared first on Golf.
