Tiger is 4 OVER
Whatever, there is plenty of information out there about Reed and his combativeness with his family, team mates, tour players, referees, and the gallery who come to watch golf.
Me too. Ricky needs another outstanding round and for both McIlroy and Reed to falter. It could happen but it’s not the way to bet, as Damon Runyon used to say.
Reed has some issues no doubt. It’s the incident with and the situation with the parents I find most..... unsettling. There might be 20K people attending a golf tournament, yet the presence of his mother and father was so disturbing he had them removed?
Having your brother-in-law on your bag is problematic at best. How can you discipline him? Or ever fire him? Because when things go wrong for a pro, it’s usually the caddie’s fault LOL.

That's great.
Tiger still thinks he's in the game.

I'll just tell you this:
Reed's parents hated Justine for coming into his life and taking (fine and loving) control of his life. She had been a nurse before carrying his bag on the tour.
Reed's parents were insufferable drunks who beat him often when he was young.
You need to get a clue.
Reed's behavior has been far from picture perfect, but people are created differently by varying lifetime experiences. Reed's experiences were not the most sublime. His parents are lowlifes.
I don’t have to answer any of your points, there is more than enough information available regarding Patrick Reed, from his cheating on the college team, stealing from a teammate and eventually being removed from the team. And what makes the difference whether I am a man or woman?
Done.
Funny thing was Tony Finau was his playing partner ....... the Tony Finau who displaced his ankle the other day celebrating his own hole in one.
LOL ...... almost could see Tony telling Charlie to be careful.
Some special memories of the late USGA president Sandy Tatum (from GolfWeek.com) By: Geoff Shackelford | June 23, 2017
Sandy Tatum was the kind of person who would leave a voice mail you could not delete. The voice, the gravitas, the command of English and his love for golf was uncanny. The Stanfordian, lawyer, USGA president and, later in life, advocate for public golf, could always be counted on to return a call in short time. No matter how busy with work duties–even well into his 90s–Tatum was actively involved in the game in meaningful ways. I treasured talking golf distance issues, television contract dynamics and of course, golf architecture with a man who grew up playing Los Angeles courses when Howard Hughes was flirting at Wilshire with Katharine Hepburn.
Here is just a snippet from Ron Kroichick in the San Francisco Chronicle, which addresses many elements of Sandy’s life, though 1974 at Winged Foot inevitably is near the top:
Asked about ringing criticism of daunting course conditions at that ’74 Open and asked if the USGA was trying to embarrass the best golfers in the world, ( Johnny Miller’ had shot a closing 63 the year before at Oakmont) . The result was the so called “Massacre at Winged Foot . Hale Irwin won with a seven OVER par 287. Mr. Tatum succinctly offered one of the most memorable quotes in golf history.
“We are not trying to humiliate the best golfers in the world,” he said, in a line repeated often since then. “We are simply trying to identify who they are.”
