If it were any other player they would have called the rules’ official over before they moved the ball and asked the same question.



Actually Rory did it and never even called an official over.

The rules official couldn’t say it was or it wasn't embedded because Patrick had already decided it was and picked it up.

Honestly, it’s not up to a rules official. It’s up to the player and his playing partner. Know the rules, use the rules.

I dislike PR, well mainly his whore wife, but take advantage when you can.

Maybe, and I know I’m splitting the atom here, he could stop putting himself in these situations on the highest level of the game. A guy with his history should have a GD Marshall walking next to him and his caddie. He should be showing remorse after the hero world incident and do everything in his power to make up for that and ensure he no longer puts himself in those positions.
Anyone with a a brain (or more than 5 career golf rounds) knows he should’ve waited. He refused to watch the TV replay because he knew it bounced. He is just a slimy dude who shouldn’t be trusted with a fast food order

What did his wife do? I’m familiar with Reed’s BS, but never heard about his SO.

He did call his playing partner over, though, who agreed it was embedded.

Reed didn’t call an official or his playing partner over until after he already picked up his ball.

You’re not required to call your playing partner over, but it is a generally agreed-upon standard of conduct for players to protect the field. Reed doing neither is very shady.

He literally told his partners he was checking. He told them before he marked it.

Reed checking is not the issue. Reed creating the indentation with his finger is the issue. Reed even said it was pretty much impossible for the ball to embed after bouncing.

Notice how long his finger was in there (TWSS) vs the rules official. I have zero doubt that he created that lip with his finger.

That’s the thing. If it was there, he did it because it certainly didn’t embed after that bounce. Reed and the official were milling around there for five minutes with Reed squatting down. If it had been soft enough to embed after a two foot drop, you would have seen them sink and get their shoes muddy.

And Reed just got caught cheating. That’s all there is to it. He knew he hit in the rough and he knew the lie was going to be bad. As soon as the volunteer told him that it didn’t bounce, he had his chance to try and improve his lie. So he did all that thinking that no one would know the difference since the ball didn’t bounce. Except that it did bounce and everyone on TV saw it. So now everyone knows that if there was an indention there, he did it.

So I guess that Rory's a cheater also. Because Reed and Golf Channel are calling him out for the same thing.

Reed, Rory, whoever...I just don’t see how any golf ball can physically be embedded into the ground, in the rough mind you, after an initial bounce. Unless it came to rest in the initial bounce’s indention. It’s harder to tell from the video of Rory’s shot, but is clear that was not the case for Reed’s shot.

Rory didnt improve his situation like Reed either. You can see from his drop.Rory assessed it notifying Sabatini (sp) didnt press his finger into the ground like Reed either

Seem like two different ways they both handled it. Rory has called penalties on himself, doesn't put himself in these situations as well. Putting Rory on the same level as Reed on a ruling in question is laughable

this... Reed knows the rules but at this point he doesn’t give a shite what anyone else thinks.

He’s a fricking cheater no matter who tries to defend it

Were they playing LC&P through the green? They usually only do it in the fairways.

Dudes first question was literally "did it bounce?" he was planning to try to get that ruling before he even made it to the ball... he's a POS

It is very unfair to compare any PGA golfer to Reed. No one, other than Reed has been accused of collegiate cheating (with strong evidence), no one has been seen on national TV improving lie illegally by using his club to clear ground so his downswing is not impeded, no one has every complained about not getting relief from a five year old palmetto tree, claiming if his name was Speith he would get relief and finally, no one has less respect from their PGA peers than this POS cheater. He is a cheater, he is known as a cheater and will always be a cheater.

Players who use weak rules officials to get a favorable ruling are POS

POS move
