Have you ever played competitive golf? You concede if they concede to you. Its a gentleman's game.

Knowing Uihlein, he would've made that putt in stroke play because his mind would be right. He probably rushed it in fury after Patrick insulted him like that.

It was a clever mental ploy by Patrick, but its still a douche move.

bullshite. In match play you concede only if you think it is a true gimmie. You also concede sometimes if you are scared of short putts in hopes they will do the same for you. The guy missed the freaking putt. Clearly, Reed did the right thing making him hit it

That was one of the least douchey things I read in the article.

Just cause they concede doesn't mean you gotta go good-good. If I think he might miss that par putt and it will get in his head, I make him putt it in the NCAA championships.

There are two reasons to concede putts in match play. If they come up short on a putt. You concede most of the time. Even at 2-3 feet. You almost always make them putt if they putt long. It gets stuck in their head that a short putt is conceded thus helping you.
