ATLANTA — Should he ever aspire to climb down from the peak of professional golf and pursue a career of meager pay and low esteem, Patrick Cantlay would make a fine sports columnist.
He showed that earlier this week at East Lake when asked about the very format he rode to a FedEx Cup title and a $15 million payday a year ago.
“I think there’s got to be a better system, although frankly I don’t know what that better system is,” he said. Long on criticism and short on solutions — the hallmark of the columnist. Someone get that man a press pass, a beat-up laptop and a touch of social awkwardness, and he’ll fit in nicely.
