H/T to Alex Myers for spotting the latest gem for the slow play files: a cricketer mocking last weekend's Genesis Open slow play and in particular, prime culprit Kevin Na. As we know, the PGA Tour embraces slow play and seems to think that as every other sport on the planet tries to speed up, apparently this kind of nonsense will fly.
Retired English cricketeer Kevin Pietersen is my kind of guy; he’s trying to save the rhinos and he’s openly mocking Kevin Na taking over a minute to hit a tap in putt last week at Riviera. Do I need to point out that it’s not a good look for golf when athletes in other sports are openly mocking golfers for taking too long? Or, in the case of the former cricketer with 3.6 million followers, filming a follow up how-to video?
SERIOUSLY, Kevin Na?!?!

That Is A Tap In, MATE! pic.twitter.com/YMmNT6m5H7
And his follow-up how-to for Na:
Hey, Kevin Na - THIS IS HOW LONG A TAP IN SHOULD TAKE! 😂😂
