If it seemed like Patrick Cantlay and Bryson DeChambeau were a bit cold to each other during Sunday’s final round of the BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf club in Owings Mills, Maryland, you can probably point to a moment on the 14th hole where it all began.
Bryson stood over his approach shot for several seconds before backing off, turning to his left, and saying “Patrick, can you stop walking?”
Cantlay did, but just a few minutes later would walk in a 21-footer for birdie to join DeChambeau at the top of the leaderboard.
You can imagine the traction the video received on social media, and even the reaction the broadcast team had to the moment. In a video posted to the Caddie Network’s Instagram page on Monday, Cantlay’s caddie, Matt Minister explained that the exchange wasn’t a big deal.
