Lol

Rory is the one that will crack

The last time they were paired Reed put on one of the most epic golf performances ever

Reed is the best match player in the world. He can play tomorrow essentially as match play where he is already up in the match

Nobody has ever said anything positive about Reed as a person

Which is great, we need him in golf

for someone who doesnt really follow golf, what is the context for this

I'm not cheering against him because everyone thinks he's a douche.

I just want an interesting Sunday.

You could go through my post history and see me rooting against Speith 2 days ago because he was lapping the field.

Fat Pat about to let a few baws back in this thing.

Fatrick bout to chip in for birdie and melt y'all all over again

Reed, heavily recruited out of his hometown of Augusta, played one year at SEC power Georgia but was dismissed from the team for reasons still unknown. In his book about the PGA Tour, Shane Ryan said there was a code of silence regarding Reed’s time at UGA, describing it as a type of “golf omerta.” Ryan brought up whispers that Reed had cheated on the course during a qualifying round (trying to hit a better-positioned ball that wasn’t his), reported better scores than he’d actually shot and may have stolen from teammates ($400 and a Scotty Cameron putter, Ryan’s source said). Reed denied these claims and said he was ousted for multiple alcohol arrests. According to reports, those incidents were nothing more than the usual college-kid stupidity.

But a Georgia assistant coach released a statement saying that Ryan’s report was accurate and that UGA chose not to associate with “Patrick as a person.”

Reed then transferred to his hometown Augusta State, where his problems continued, but not enough to keep the small team from stunning the golf world to win two national championships. He didn’t socialize with his teammates and was so disliked that, allegedly, before Augusta State faced off in match play against Georgia with the NCAA championship on the line, Reed’s teammates told star Georgia player Harris English that while they wanted to win the title, they hoped he’d beat Reed. The title came down to that match and Reed won, 2 and 1.

Wei also reported that ASU teammates twice suspected Reed of declaring lower scores than he’d shot and that the team had a meeting about whether to keep him on the team. Meanwhile, Reed went 6-0 in match play en route to those two NCAA championships.

Nice close, Rory.

Rory!!
