Reed's Caddy in an "altercation"

[NoFancyUsername.]

The problem with that is Aussies love a good fight and don't back down. Reed plays singles tomorrow and the Aussie spectators will bury him.

He won't handle this. Aussie will follow Reed to bury him rather than go watch Tiger play singles.

[stingerfade]

kuch can give him some advice on that....

[coops]

remember this is in Australia...

there's been some choice Cricket mickey taking....

 

"Aussie paceman Glenn McGrath was bowling to Zimbabwe number 11 Eddo Brandes – who was just missing each ball. McGrath, frustrated, went to him and inquired: “Why are you so fat?”Quick as a flash, Brandes replied, “Because every time I f@ck your wife, she gives me a biscuit.”

what does a story about bugs have to do with golf? ???

[noodle3872]

The hole the hole PReed Team is digging for themselves is getting rather deep with each passing day.

Inb4 Greg Norman claims to have been the assaulted fan.

[Need4spd]

I’d actually be in favor of banning him tomorrow. This type of behavior can not be allowed. He responded to being verbally antagonized with physical violence. Imagine if this happened in any other [team] sport.

[BeerPerHole]

What a mess. Let’s also notice some fans are acting like shite heads. Who goes to a golf tournament to yell insults? Haha!

Well the ratings just went up a few notches. Media outlets covering the President's Cup are smiling from ear to ear.

[Hawkeye77]

Just based on what he was dumb/proud enough to publish he should absolutely be sitting out tomorrow. Now, will PGA Tour have the stones?

[Golfingfanatic]

Reed's caddy is an idiot. Who would've thought...

[charlokim]

Looks like he's not on the bag tomorrow

 

[Hawkeye77]

It will be his coach

[Valtiel]

Also, "You fucking suck" was the thing that went "too far"? You better get some thicker skin if you're going to caddy for a cheater. ?

[ray9898]

Team PReed doing what they do best.....

[Edaw68]

Maybe that's why Spieth has been slumping. His back hurt from carrying Reed.

[Banker]

I thought it was Robert Allenby....lol

[Vindog]

So?

 

I am neither surprised nor appalled that this happened. Not in the least. Everyone, I don't care who you are, needs to be held accountable for their mouth.

All this drama created by themselves...are the Reed’s (and the wider family) pitching for there to be a reality show on them, they seem to be white trash enough that people would want to watch,

[BIG STU]

ROTFLMFAO!!!! I was going to post the exact same thing but you beat me to it---- Oh well next time

[Retsdon]

It's been coming for a long time. Never mind Reed's character, it's irrelevant here. Golf isn't a long distance spectator sport, players are frequently closely surrounded by fans while they're playing, and it's not right that they should have to endure personal abuse. Organizers and officials have been far too lax for far too long with louts and idiots who are bringing the manners of the stadium spectator to the golf course. Unless something is done to weed these people out it won't be too long before golf spectators find themselves watching the game corralled behind barriers, 50 yards from the players.

I honestly thought when I read the headline that a fan would have been making highly disparaging remarks about his wife and kids or something along those lines. While I am not one who likes being around drunk and obnoxious fans, someone saying "you f'ing suck" seems like it could pretty easily be ignored and not the catalyst for a physical confrontation. Didn't Patrick eat up the Hazeltine crowds, who were equally if not more brutal on the Europeans? And now that the shoe is on the other foot, it's not so fun I guess...

[caniac6]

I really think the fan behavior at team competitions is quickly approaching 16th hole behavior. I don't think he should have done what he did, but I don't blame him. Some guy saying something from the stands is one thing, but some guy getting right in your face is something else altogether. We used to go to a lot of NHL games, but the fan behavior got out of hand. My brother gave up his season tickets to an NFL team because of the number of drunks at the game. Too many fans seem to want to be part of the event rather than to spectate. I am giving Team Reed a pass on this one.

[Soloman1]

That digging Reed did was his own PR grave. He brings it on himself. This is the same guy kicked off his college team with allegation of cheating and theft.

[LICC]

Yes, but he should have had security remove the spectator, not go and physically push the guy himself.

[caniac6]

His past gets no debate from me, but that doesn't give some drunk the right to get in his face. I'm very happy I'm not confronted about things I have done in my past.

[tannyhoban]

I see Reed's plan to take over golfwrx Tour forum from Tiger is working to perfection.

[Snoop Golfie Dogg]

I hope Reed kicks some foreigner's ass tonight.

[Vindog]

I would say that Bubba Watson is Reed's biggest fan for taking all of the heat off him him. lulz
