Patrick Cantlay’s profane hot-mic moment at Sentry TOC has golf fans buzzing - Golf.com

When the telecast cut back to the booth, Golf Channel analyst Paul Azinger said, “Gosh, he’s not really staying in the moment. He’s already in the 19th hole in his head.”

Added announcer Dan Hicks, “Talk about unfiltered. They do have to realize that there are live mics around, especially when you’re turning into a star player like Cantlay is.”

Naturally, the exchange set golf Twitter ablaze. Many observers speculated that Cantlay was impersonating Golf Channel announcer Mark Rolfing, because Cantlay said, “I’ve been waiting for this weather for 40 years.” (Rolfing is a long-time Maui resident and helped in the picturesque layout’s enhancement along with the original designers he brought in, Coore & Crenshaw.)

GOLF.com’s attempts to clarify Cantlay’s comments through his representation have been unsuccessful. But Minister, his caddie, did respond to a text.

Minister said that Cantlay was having what he believed to be a private conversation with Rahm that they didn’t intend to be aired on Golf Channel.

“I know that Rolfing had nothing to do with that conversation,” Minister said. “I find it amusing people assuming they know what we are talking about. They are wrong.”

Minister added that the Mai Tai remark “caught me off guard. [Patrick] doesn’t drink.” (Minister’s not a Mai Tai guy, either. He said his post-round drink of choice this week has been a craft beer from Maui Brewing Company.)

So, what were Cantlay’s remarks in reference to? Minister declined to say.

“Makes it more fun,” he said, “keep y’all guessing.”
