Cink, Poulter Outted As Rude Golfers

A few of you were shocked when I Tweeted last week about the Cink, Na grouping and the inevitable battle to see who was slowest. But as Doug Ferguson reports, the twosome of master Tweeters took over four hours (!!!!) with no golfers in front of them during the WGC Accenture Match Play first round.

It was on the next hole that rules official Stephen Cox drove up in a cart and asked them to speed along. As tense as the atmosphere can be in match play, Cox delivered a great line when he approached Poulter.

"Look, I realize you've both taken a trip to In-N-Out for a double-double, but I'd appreciate it if you would pick up the pace," Cox said as Poulter looked at him and grinned.

It didn't help. By the next hole, Cox began timing them.

For the Match Play Championship, players are given two warnings for bad times. On the third bad time, it's loss of a hole.

Neither was penalized in the match, which Cink won on the 19th hole.
