PGA Tour pro Patrick Cantlay was blasted by fans at the Tour Championship for his pace of play, prompting a reply from his former colleague, Phil Mickelson.

Cantlay played in Sunday's final group with Fleetwood and finished in a tie for second place. The 33-year-old, who could be a captain's pick for this year's U.S. Ryder Cup team, was so slow that tournament officials put the final group on the clock over the back nine as they fell over a hole behind the group in front of them.

One swing cost Tommy Fleetwood the lead Saturday in the Tour Championship. Another great closing stretch gave Patrick Cantlay a shot at the ideal ending to three years without winning.
