President's Cup Australia 2019 - Captain Tiger's 4 at-large picks?
Reed penalized 2 strokes. I'm working with the tv on in the background so I haven't seen the official statement from the PGA or Reed yet.
Weirfan - it was so subtle his moving the sand in the bunker to improve his lie yet so obvious.
mikeintopeka They just finished. Fireworks show to start in 3-2-1.
Just read an account of it. Must’ve been good video because he apparently didn’t try to dispute it. The officials even called him a gentleman
johnnydoom - I remember a couple of guys being informed of infractions during play and then melted down the balance of the round. So, I kind of thought there'd be some drama in the scoring tent. How could Reed dispute it? It clear as day as to what the results were when he took the club back. And I've defended the guy on these pages because a friend attended a fundraiser in his Woodlands, TX neighborhood to generate money to get him on tour and went on and on about what a great guy he was.

He did it twice and how could he NOT see the sand move behind his ball when he took a few practice
strokes in the waste area?
And his caddy was standing right behind the ball and apparently said nada.
I have a feeling the Aussie's are going to have a field day with Reed next week!

Not making any excuse for Reed, but how is it different than, when in deep rough, a player repeatedly soles his club behind the ball....smashing the grass down with every soling? He was in a bunker where he could sole his club without penalty. I do understand he did move sand 2 times, but what if he had just soled the club several times to tamp down that same sand??
I, at first, had thought he knew what he was doing and was deliberate about it(cheating). After some thought about how the club would actually block his view of the 'swipes', from his stance over the club, I'll give him benefit of a doubt. His caddy must have been looking towards the fw, or looking at Reed directly, as caddies do, in order not to see it.
Much will be made of this, but should it? He is not President! 
Morning Drive dug up some footage from 2015 at this tourny showing Reed doing the EXACT same thing in a waste bunker. It appears to be a repeated pattern.
He shouldn't get any slack for this, imo.

I finally saw the video this morning and that was about as blatant as could be. I thought maybe he disturbed a few grains, but he clearly opened up a better path to his ball.
I'm not familiar with the facts involving his estrangement from his mother and father, so I'll refrain from opining about things I don't know to be true.
That said, he comes across as a smug, entitled prick much of the time and perhaps more troubling is that his reputation doesn't seem to bother him. This is just another example of why he has earned that reputation, and why it's so easy for some to assume that he's the villain regarding the situation with his parents.
Integrity is a very hard quality to recover once it has been abandoned.
Phil is becoming the new Greg Norman. Perhaps we'll see some chainsaw stunts where he severs half of his arm in future twitter posts, then two months later lands a world record great white shark from his modest 30 million dollar yacht in the pacific, and then gets an emergency beacon signal to return home to put out a blazing California wildfire single handedly.
He has to cheer hard. He's Captain America.
Looks like the US has their hands full today.
Why is DeChambeau wearing that CS hat and not a ball cap like all of the rest?
