Gary Player was the KING of improved lies, throughout his career. He was would set up behind a ball in the rough with a fairway wood ... tamp it down a bit, then switch to an iron. If you recall, Tom Watson called Player out at one of the old Skins Games, for cheating. There's also the story (& likely true) of how he won the 1974 US Open.

Reed has always been cheat, going back to his days at Georgia, when he was thrown off the Golf Team.
I spend a few minutes with Reed and he's great with golf fans, at least in my experience ... but he is a cheater.
