Phil Mickelson and Luke Donald aired their difference of opinion on the subject of green-reading books on social media this week – with the former believing that they can help speed up the game.
The five-time major champion initially tweeted on the subject after green-reading books came in for criticism for contributing to slow play following the incident at The Northern Trust involving Bryson DeChambeau.
Replying to a tweet from Rickie Fowler’s caddie, Mickelson stated on the subject
While that view was called “100% correct” by Ian Poulter, one man who wasn’t in agreement was Donald. Replying to Mickelson’s take, Donald stated
Uninterested in debating his view on the subject, Mickelson replied to Donald saying “We agree on one thing at least”, which appears to be in reference to Donald’s opening line to the 49-year-old.
Looking to defuse the situation, Eddie Pepperell, who apologized to Bryson DeChambeau on Monday after he had called him a “single-minded twit” on the platform, tweeted both Mickelson and Donald, saying “Alright, let’s calm down guys and keep the infighting to me and Bryson.”
Do you feel that green-reading books are a help or a hindrance in the battle against slow play, WRXers?
