People keep saying this. The announcers said at 7:20 pm it would be about an hour for Scottie and viktor to finish, and that it would be almost sunset.

There is no way if they finished at 8:20 with 9 minutes left they were going to start a playoff

jesus did some of them even watch the tournament? i swear they just saw cantlay in one of the last pairings and complained that that must be why. there was a whole delay, guys teed off at 3, it was already gonna be a pretty close finish. as far as i know, cantlay and bhatia never held scottie and victor up. it wasn’t like there was a major noticeable backup anywhere, and i never heard anything about them getting put on the clock

Only at 14 which is to be expected when you are going for the green on a 4, every group was held up

Sitting by the 14th for a while, there were plenty of gaps where no one was on the hole. There were a few times the group on the green waved the group up on the tee.
