All I saw today was a guy who putted incredibly well and withstood a ton of pressure from some very big names behind him. He deserved the Green Jacket.

Some of those putts on the back nine did NOT want to go down - but down they went anyway.

Even his putt on the last hole looked like it wanted to ring-slide past, but it didn't.    smiling face

First I've heard about Reed's past issues, except for the quote about Jordan Spieth’s very favorable ball drop ruling, which sounded like benign competitive sarcasm to me.

In any event, after Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy each made a serious run at him on Sunday, Reed kept his composure, played a solid round, and won a Major Championship.

I say, congratulations Patrick Reed.

No. It would have been improper for Reed to alter the position of the tree or any branch in a practice swing, but whatever happens in a swing outside a hazard area is OK.

If you are in a hazard, then you are not supposed to move grass in your backswing.

Patrick is a Patriot. Liberal lefties hate him. What a bunch of crap article.

Guy has big nards and is gonna be around for a long time.

He led his Augusta team to two national championships. That’s why the UGA dorks hate him.

The year Patrick Reed tried to earn his PGA tour card, he Monday qualified six times. This may be a record. He and his wife drove from tournament to tournament since they didn’t have the money for flying. She stopped being his caddy when she had their first child. They have two now. I was hoping he would win. He is a proud American.

Unsurprisingly, Sports Joe is doing the same thing.

Patrick doesnt have to worry about driving anymore! 10 year exemption for a major I think...

Yes he did. He showed a tremendous amount of grit throughout the day. He won that. Despite the fact I was pulling for Rory then Speith I cheered when Reed closed it out. A gutty performance.

I don’t think Grant was anything like the accusations against Reed. And they are mostly just that, accusations.

Reed got on the PGA tour a few years ago by being a Monday qualifier.

Nobody does that these days. But it’s an indication of his ability and confidence.

So in other words, Reed is about as likeable as Tiger Woods was before his personal life imploded. I don’t care if he wins.

IMG suckups and Tiger apologists/jock sniffers don’t like Reed? OK.

In #35, I should say “allegedly”. I don’t know if he did any of that stuff. That’s the word of a few people that have reason to not like him.

This BS is the same as those who will never get over Clinton losing to Trump. This anti-Reed garbage comes out as Wood’s comeback is a big fail.

I don’t know about all of this. I watched the tour today and the Green Jacket ceremony. I thought he carried it off with gentlemanly aplomb.
