I don't know the guy except for what I read and see on tv.

I'll stand by the old quote, "There's no such thing as bad publicity".

Seems like a cheat, a liar and arguably a thief - the higher he finishes when he pulls stunts like this means he's taking money from an honest pro's pocket.

Maybe there aren't many honest pros and he's just towing the line, I don't know. Golf is very penal. I've addressed a ball on a springy lie to have it move and thought do I really deserve a penalty for that? Imagine the pressure when money is on the line. The difference is intent. Reed isn't trying to give himself the benefit of a 50/50 call. He's cheating.

Aussie crowds should have fun with him, singing, "I'm caught in a trap"  etc.

I'm looking forward to this event.  Hope it blows and the greens get slick and hard and Adam Scott gets his act together (the boofhead).

Had to Google to find out what all the talk is about. After reading the article below the first thing I thought about was the Democrats going after our duly elected president because they lost! #Craziness (and lying) is going worldwide and in ALL walks of life. Going to be fun (albeit dangerous).

Yes there is. And when looking at todays world, most of the publicity is bad and pure crap.

What Reed did, was intentional and pure cheeting. We all golfers know it. Cheeting isn't good, it's bad.

 

If he'd been honest, he's score and reputation would have been better now.

Hope he learns and apologizes what he did.

Nah, it wasn't cheating ,he broke a rule and was penalized, intentional or not.

Pretty hard to cheat with cameras and eyes watching your every move.

 That was the worse cheating I've ever seen!!! Everyone knows when you're improving your lie like that, you always place your foot 

strategically  to block the view, and maybe say something like..."Hey, check out that chick over there".   :D

I watched it and still can't believe he did it. It was obvious he knew what he was doing and didn't think he would get caught but with all the cameras we have today he did. He is great golfer but an ass of a person and that will not change.

It certainly doesn't help that most people don't really like him to begin with.

 

When nearly every shot you hit is televised, I'm not sure how you could feel like you'd be able to get away with anything remotely suspicious. I'd be paranoid every time I marked my ball just in case I accidentally bumped the coin.

Did you mean to say "duly elected liar of a president"? As you say, craziness and lying in all walks of life.

No we got rid of the liar and rotten President in 2016 and replaced him with one that loves our country and especially our Military.

I agree with you 100 percent but I had to respond to that post as my side is tired of it. Now that it's out we can get back to golf topics.

Can't we just agree both of them are terrible?

Reed looks to be embracing the heel role today. I'm kind of enjoying it.

The crowd was pretty hostile to most of our players who weren't him, so I can't imagine what he was copping.

Honestly all I was pleading for was simply no political opinions or comparison - period.

A user in this thread chose to inject a political slant that was unnecessary and very much off topic.

 

We have some pretty big disagreements in the forum user base on some of this stuff and just "sticking to golf" is really our best approach here.
