Patrick Reed
talk about double standard. the network CBS yesterday condemned Reed for cheating, or insinuating that he cheated on Saturday. he was exonerated by the head rules official and the rules guy on the course at the time. but CBS whined about him most of the broadcast.
Justin Thomas uttered a gay slur, and not a peep from anyone. he must be a network favorite. and Rory did the same thing on Sunday and not a peep from broadcasters nantz and Faldo. does this sound familiar? I hope Patrick sues them for libel for lying about the incident |

You are so right. In addition, Rory did the exact same thing and did not call an official over but not a word. Talk about a double standard

there is a reason why... go back to 2019 and watch this bunker fiasco when he swept sand from behind the ball with a few little waggles behind the ball.... really a pro golfer isn't going to realize that he grounded his club... he got a 2 stroke penalty after cheating on that .... PGA TOUR - Patrick Reed receives a two-stroke penalty at the Hero World Challenge | Facebook
if he was going to ask for a ruling why didn't he do it before he twirled his finger in the deep grass for a while and then lifted the ball and moved it 3 ft. ... then he asked for an official??... why?? he then went back and AGAIN stuck his finger down where the supposed depression was .. for what reason??? also I find it hard to believe that a ball that lands and then bounces about 1ft in the air and lands again could become inbedded |

Rory didn't make it look suspicious like Patrick did.. and he doesn't already have a reputation for cheating

Made it look suspicious? The only reason it “looked suspicious “ was because the announcers kept harping on it to stir up some controversy. Rory actually made it look suspicious by not calling over an official |

Your time line with his actions is mostly backwards...

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... |

EVERYBODY---fellow competitors, 3 caddies, volunteer witness---failed to see the ball bounce. The rules CLEARLY state that a player, if unsure of whether the ball broke the plane of the ground surface, may mark, lift and remove the ball without cleaning it, then check to see if it was embedded. Then a fellow competitor or rules official should be called over to see if they agree. This is EXACTLY what Reed (and Rory) did. As far as 2019 goes, that was hard to explain. It wasn't a PGA tour event, and Reed said he didn't notice, which is also hard to believe. But it is even harder to believe a 9 time PGA winner and Master's champion would INTENTIONALLY try to "cheat" with hundreds of fans and several TV cameras focused on him |

we are talking about this weekend, not 2 years ago .......not a peep from Jim nantz, nick foldo or the lady, about the homophobic, insensitive, outrageous slur from Justin Thomas. media bias at its best. he must be the media darling.

The network tells them how to respond to controversies. I'm with the guys who played golf on the team. He should have put his hands in his pockets and not touched the ball until the rules official came over if there was any question. Or he could do what most of the villagers do and pick it up and improve his lie....lol

Funny how past penalties have been handed out after reviewing camera footage
