If the OFFICIAL hadn't felt the ground plan had been broken the ball would have been placed back where it stopped after Reeds shot(as Reed had clearly marked the spot with a tee). If a player can not determine if the ball broke the surface of the ground by just looking(he could not as the grass was almost 4" long) then he is allow to mark the ball position and remove the ball(this can also be done if you can't tell if it's their ball or not)

Many people who comment on such things have never picked the rules of golf much less opened it and would probably benefit from doing so if they're going to have opinions that mean less than nothing compared to the reality of the situation.


plain and simple I believe he cheats ... I see there are no comments about his 2 stroke penalty from 2019...
