Ben Crane vs. Henrik Stenson

Do you think if Ben Crane and Henrik Stenson were playing as a two-some they would ever finish their round?

Would they be the first two-some in PGA Tour history to let groups 'play through'?

Is Henrick Stenson figuring his yardage to the nearest inch or centimeter?

I give Tiger credit for being able to save par on the 18th while having to wait for that embarrassing display....

Stenson isn't super slow and Ben Crane is working on speeding his game up, so maybe not.

And when Tiger hit his 9 iron on the roof and it took half an hour to figure out what to do they let a group play through. And ive been watching Stenson play and he doesn't look slow at all, just as fast as Tiger in some instances.

i remember it well, not even a penalty stroke if i remember correctly.
yep Stenson isn't really slow, yesterday at 18 he was in trouble, and took his time to try to make the most out of the 18th, which he never. but no one is going to rush anything just to please Tiger or the viewers when they are in strong contention.

Nick Fasth and Ben Crane might be another matter!

I don't know if he improved yet or not but Appleby drove me nuts a couple of years ago when I thought he'd never hit the ball. In Hawaii. Nick Fasth is slowh!

I guess no one was watching Saturday's round.
They were over 2 full holes behind.

i watch Stenson week in week out and he isn't super slow, he isn't super speedy either (plays at a nice pace that suits him and i don't mind watching him) but doesn't come anywhere near the category of Ben Crane's past.

I think your allowed to play as slow as you want when you've won the tournament 3 years running

Reminds me something I have read about Langer. When told the distance to the flag from the sprinkler head, he asked whether it was from the front or the back of the sprinkler head.
