McIlroy sounds off on 'unacceptable' slow play at Sawgrass
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. Rory McIlroy on Friday night was asked a straightforward question and, in keeping with his unfiltered personality, offered a straightforward answer.The fact that someone didn't finish yesterday, just being through daylight savings and the tee times and someone had to come out today because there wasn't enough light to finish, I mean, that's unacceptable, said McIlroy, the co-leader after two rounds at The Players following a 7-under 65. This is [five hours and 40 minutes] after our tee time. I get that it can take five hours to play out there, but it shouldn't take any over that.Playing with Phil Mickelson and Matt Kuchar, the threesome completed their round in five hours and 20 minutes, which even by PGA Tour standards is long.

Although slow play on Tour is nothing new commissioner Jay Monahan addressed the topic earlier this week the circuit doesnt seem interested in speeding things up, which likely led to McIlroys venting.They don't do anything about it. It's become somewhat of an epidemic on Tour, McIlroy said. Honestly, I think they should just be a little tougher and start penalizing shots earlier and that would be an easy way to fix it.The Tour doled out the first penalty for slow play in 22 years at the 2017 Zurich Classic to the team of Miguel Angel Carballo and Brian Campbell. Each player was given a bad time for taking too long to hit their shots (players have 40 seconds to hit a shot when its their turn). A stroke penalty is only given out after a second bad time, but because it was a team event the infractions were combined which led to the penalty.

As much as I respect Jack and his achievements in the game, I really do get tired of his constant axe to grind with the golf ball. Just in case Jack has a short memory, it's worth noting that at a time when he was most prolific he was also hitting it 20 yards past his nearest competitor.
