Na Slow, Na Heckled
/Interestingly, no one in the Arnold Palmer Invitational crowd was ejected for heckling Kevin Na over slow play but according to his playing partner Scott Stallings, the comments were too awful to repeat. Na took the high road after the round but did tell Golf Central that he loves the API.
Will Gray reports on the incidents, which peaked at the 10th hole when the PGA Tour's Mark Russell was called in:
“It was all day, both days. He handled it great, but he just got fired up,” Stallings said, adding that the comments directed at Na included “stuff that doesn’t need to be repeated.”
“He’s trying his absolute best,” he said. “It’s unfortunate … He had every right to be frustrated.”
Moore offered some specifics about a situation that he said occurred Friday on the No. 13, the group’s fourth hole of the day.
“There was an instance earlier in the day where someone was yelling something way up from the green while he was standing over his (approach) shot,” Moore said. “I mean, you don’t want that. You don’t want that to happen to anybody. That’s just disrespectful.”
I'm wondering if he was playing at a normal pace would there have been time to get in a heckle?
