Nice dart right there. I swear this guy is fueled by his haters.

I think that’s a True statement.

Time for me to turn it off. 

I find Reed so hard to watch... It's always a disappointment to me when he's leading.

Lost a little more respect for him this week after listening to the Kostis interview the NLU guys did... 

[DawgDaddy]

Well the old saying that cheaters never win needs revision IMO.  He is just an unlikable guy to me. 

[RickyBobby_PR]

Heck of a finish. Like him or not Reed can hit a golf ball pretty well. 

[jkittlesen]

Shut em with a win P. Reed.

Agreed. You can't take that away from him. It's just a shame he's brought the controversy on himself, because he doesn't need to cheat to win tournaments... So why do that to yourself and to the game?

Patrick Reed must have a set of brass balls! The guy thrives on the negativity. As much as he brings it on himself, he is good for the game.

Wonder if the grounds crew are going to have a word with the mad scientist and his tiff on the green.

You’re correct he doesn’t need to do anything he is very good. It’s a character flaw he needs to overcome, or not. He seems to thrive on the controversy.

So happy Reed won.  All the haters can eat it.  LOL  

What I really find funny is just a few years ago, all the "complaints" were about a lack of personality on tour.  All the players wore kakhi pants and solid shirts.  They all looked the same, acted the same, and spewed the same lame blah blah blah garbage when interviewed.  Now we have a little more personality.  All types...  golf is better with faces and heels.  Golf is better with flashy clothes, fist pumps, trash talk, and players who speak from the heart and not from the cue cards.  Maybe I'm not a fan of Bryson because I think he's slow and needs to pick up the pace...  but he is different and brings something to the tour.  Patrick Reed is who he is.  He plays better when the daggers are pointed at him.  Is he a cheater?  Only he really knows for sure and he will have to answer for his actions eventually.  He also takes the penalties he's given and moves along.  Is Reed putting 3, 4, 5 different clubs behind his ball any different than Tiger getting 10 guys from the gallery to move a large boulder or Speith intentionally playing behind the grandstands to get free relief towards the hole because he had zero shot at the green?  Not in my world.  Either the tour fixes the rules and makes this crap stop or these guys keep doing what they are doing and we just live with it.  

 

Never forget what Joe Montana said, "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying."

Unfortunately no matter what he does some are going to hate on him or question everything. 
 

Perception unfortunately is reality. 

[DiscipleofPenick]

Reed is the man.

I only caught a couple of minutes of today’s round, saw w or 3 groups play 16.

Know what? B.A.D, Reed, and Thomas had to wait for the green to clear, no one was waiting for them.

Maybe Bryson isn’t quick at times but it could also be a little overblown as well.

DeChambeau's group on Saturday, which included Patrick Reed and Erik van Rooyen, was put on the clock.  Both Reed and van Rooyen were seen exiting the green late in the round, while they were on the clock, and walking to the next tee, while DeChambeau was still using his protractor around the green while he putted out.

I kid about the protractor, but the overall issue remains.  DeChambeau is very slow, and now he's causing his entire group to be on the clock, which now affects his playing partner's games.  Perhaps it's why van Rooyen didn't play very well on Saturday, because DeChambeau was slow playing him (and Reed) to death.

This issue isn't going away anytime soon, because he continues to be a problem with his pace of play.  Perhaps if what I heard from the announcers on Saturday with regards to there being pace of play changes implemented, starting at Harbor Town in April, will correct this problem once and for all.  But I will wait patiently to see if anything changes.
