He didn't say how far behind them he was when they started, just that they let a twosome go by on the first hole. This might not have happened until further into the round.

We were on the first tee when they waved the other twosome through. We stayed behind them without pressing through 4. On the fifth, which is a par 5, they were looking for errant shots when we got to the tee box and they saw us and waved us through. Actually, my friend and I were taking our time and visiting. We weren't even pushing them, just following along. They were very slow, but we took our time, practiced chipping and putting, and slowed our pace to match theirs. We were surprised to find them in the fairway when we got to the 5th tee box.
