How Patrick Reed Maintains His Squeaky-Clean Reputation (RG62)

With further proof that the universe doesn’t care about karma, Patrick Reed has taken home his 9th PGA Tour victory this week at the Farmers Insurance Open. However, the win doesn’t come without controversy. Reed benefitted from a highly-scrutinized move during his 3rd round in which he took relief from an “embedded” lie. This week, the guys break down the incident itself and discuss its implications for the tour and how incidents like this can be avoided in the future.

After a lengthy conversation, we talk about the upcoming Waste Management Phoenix Open and make our picks for the week. With only 5,000 spectators allowed on the grounds each day, the event will look significantly different than it has in the past; most notably on its famed Hole #16 that typically sees a raucous crowd of 20,000 on that hole alone.

If you need to brush off all of the Patrick Reed-induced negativity, check out this video featuring Gary Woodland and Amy Bockerstette from the 2019 WM Open. Yes, it’s unadulterated PGA Tour propaganda and yes, you will probably see it multiple times over the next few days (especially if Gary is in contention). But good luck not smiling anyway.
