Yes, but Rory is still to be more trusted because he has a more honest history. I still think Reed was fumbling around with the ball way too much. 

Which is the root issue. A double standard based on reputation. You can’t penalize him today for something that he might have done in a college locker room.  That’s where twitters mind is.

I can trust one person more in my head, but I said I think both players should have had someone else look at their balls. The rule should be changed and it didn’t decide this tournament. 

[Mr. Grumpy]

Commentators make it sound like Patrick kicks puppies for a living. "Dark Cloud", "you've got to lay your head on your pillow at night". Wow,, was yesterday really that bad?

Yea. I don’t have an issue with that. But they prefer pace of play over carefully making sure I’m afraid

Nantz and Faldo with another memorable call on the 18th green...

Faldo sure has made himself a fool over this.  Always sort of thought he was unjustly maligned and gave his fumbling attempts at commentary then edit of the doubt.  I have a book of his that is mostly incomprehensible but that’s not unusual with books by golf pros.

 

Now he just appears to be not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Egos are too big to accept mistakes.

Patrick Reed after the round...

 

[bladehunter]

Yep. Loosing respect for Faldo by the second.  HIs glass house isn’t lexan.

Good win for Reed, despite the hate.  And he's still one of our best players for Ryder Cup and President's Cup.

Wasn’t just him. Everyone on CBS had this opinion. The only people on Reed’s side were Rex Hoggard, Todd Lewis, Justine, and a few posters in this thread.

Fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice shame on me.

 

I think it is fair that person with a history of taking liberties with the rules gets watched more closely. 

[snagy2000]

Good for PReed...

[Hawkeye77]

Nick just doesn't understand how much he contradicts himself when talking about Reed vs. Rory, but the life was sucked out of everyone at CBS, lol.

 

I'm not a Reed fan so I can't say I'm happy for him, but he shot the lowest score and all the folks that had chances to step up in the final round just completely wilted.  The guy has some incredible focus, like it or not. 

 

I've been working on a yardage book for my course with some cool templates and software (I guess you'd call it that, I had to download it and it does design stuff) all afternoon and made tons of progress and rarely looked at the TV because every time I looked someone was missing a putt or not getting close to the hole. 

[PZero]

Captain America with the win. Pencil him in for the Ryder Cup.

PReed, will be favored come US Open time... I'll be dropping a teaser on him.

Faldo was a genius, compared to Dottie Pepper.  Unfortunately, she embarrassed herself by saying a rules official should be called over.  That's not required by the rules.

 

Yep, Faldo was not at his best, though I think he's an entertaining commentator.  Frank was an idiot, pure and simple, along with Dottie.

CBS. The perfect example of honesty and cognitive ability !?   Lol.  Ever watch Gayle king ?   She’s on topic about every third Thursday.  
 

 

What  you mean to say is Twitter is mad.   Well. If the opinion comes from there. It’s automatically half wrong.  That place makes smart men average.

He better make the team on points because he has no friends on Tour

Grats Reed and #9..

He doesn't need friends on the team.  He has more talent than most.  Sorry to break that to you.

We had 12 cameras on him. Didn’t see a rules breach. What  would you have them do ?

[TheIncelGolfer]

Been a while since I've seen hugs between players on the final hole. Warms my heart after all the sterile fist bumping.

[Skhacker]

Pretty impressive nerves on Reed to win so convincingly after all of the negative attention toward him.

And the PGA Tour and the officials.

 

He won by 5 shots.

 

Total blow blow out.

He does, but I doubt he’s a captain’s pick is my point. He’s also sucked the last two team events at 2-5-0.

Exactly.  People forget he shot 39 on the back yesterday after the drop incident.  And stilll win by 5 ?  lol. That’s a mental beat down.

Patrick is a rock.  All this shade on his victory shows how much stronger he is than the other competitors. By a mile.
