As articles with Caddy and player accounts have been posted in previous threads about this , many players cheat and it has been going on for decades. Some are less obvious and it might be taking an incorrect drop 100 yards ahead of where the ball last crosses a hazard, or the dozens who mark their ball incorrectly ( Phil had alot to say about this) and almost every player who improves their lie by placing a club down behind the ball in the rough. Reed's actions are inexcusable and he's a dumbass for being so blatant about it when there are cameras everywhere. Right
or wrongly, the tour obviously didnt feel it was intentional as they did not DQ him.
like with Tiger, Bubba, Bryson, Phil and others there might be reasons to dislike them ....Reed is also one of those polarizing figures. He's cocky with a big chip on his shoulder ....but he not only talks the talk, he walks the walk and is one of the best players on the planet and outside of Poulter, probably the most feared player to play a match against.
there is no doubt he has some underlying psychological pathology ( who doesn't) which might stem from his difficult upbringing. I certainly wont hold that against him. It is also apparent to me that, like Bubba, he is very uncomfortable in some social settings and has difficulty speaking to the media. It's no excuse for cheating the way he did . Hopefully, he gets it and the sand issue was the last of it.
