    Default Patrick Reed - miss understood or a dirty cheat???

    There is a book coming out accusing Patrick Reed of cheating and stealing from teammates in college. Patrick has called the lawyers and Stephanie Wei has some unnamed sources.

    One thing he was accused of telling the coach the wrong scores in practice rounds. They don't use scorecards just keep scores in their head......wtf???

    I like the way Patrick Reed plays so interested to see how it plays out.

    Misunderstood is one word, unless you're referring to some chick flick?

    Who cares, they need theatre when Tiger is away otherwise they all lack personalities.

    Is Patrick a dirty cheat?

    Has he been detected breaking any rules, either on or off the golf course in the last five years? That is my definition of a dirty cheat, and as far as I am aware the answer is no.

    He wasn't very popular, and still isn't in some circles, and now a journo is doing a hatchet job on him regarding stuff that occurred years ago when he was young and irresponsible.

    I don't care about what happened in his relatively distant past. Storm in a teacup.

    University age is hardly young and irresponsible.

    Have you seen Girls Gone Wild? I'd say it's a 50/50 chance on that.

    Note: I may or may not have watched Girls Gone Wild.

    At the end of the day though, I find myself less and less interested in what goes on off the golf course. I know there is the argument that the fans pay there way,but I don't see them being paid as role models, but being paid as golfers, IMO.

    I'm not saying.

    No doubt.

    Agree completely

    Sounds like a disgruntled ex teammate who's now working at a driving range being pissed off Reedy has won on tour, blah,blah...
    Sick of this crap coming out of the U.S.
    Seeing as it like every time some no name becomes successful someone digs up dirt to try make some money off it...
    I like the guy, plays with a bit of passion.

    Or....

    Some see passion, whereas others see an arrogant little twat. If he has cheated, why shouldn't he be scrutinised?

    Match play says otherwise.

    He may have cheated who knows. He hasn't been caught or spoken about in that light since being on tour so irrespective of his past, judging on his recent behavior I'd say he's not going too bad.

    They were, it was all part of Patrick's master plan

    I think he is a bit of a knob, but is entertaining and a good change for the game. He was awesome to watch at the Ryder Cup, getting into it with the fans.

    So multiple assistant coaches were told by his team mates he was a cheat but that news didn't make it to the head coach and they did nothing?

    She's very careful in that piece to not mention the cheating, but whether or not the allegations/rumours of cheating are real.

    So if someone asks what you shot and you say 72 but you really shot 75? What do you call that? So if you use the foot wedge but there's no score card?

    How do you cheat during practice?

    FMD, I'm a cheat.

    I always kick balls out from behind trees when I'm practicing. Generally would shoot better than 72 as well, just quietly

    He said, she said, ner ner, whatever.

    Just another sour grapes article from Stephanie Wei.

    She's just jealous of her cousin Michelle getting all the attention.

    The word is that PR is his own greatest fan. Does that make him a tosser? Smithy and Que were paired with him during the recent CIMB Classic in Malaysia. PR never said a word to them during the round and according to Smithy' s caddy treated them as if they were there to watch him. Smithy finished 5th, Que 10th and Reed 26th.

    I would have said that Smith and Que had/have the issue, not Reed. What makes me say that? oh say 4 PGA Tour wins and several millions dollars.

    Every time Reed plays well, I mention to Can how well his mate is playing. I don't think either Smith or Que cared what Reed did, they kicked his butt and enjoyed each others company while they were doing it.

    Because it was team qualifying. Shoot 75 and you don't play in the college match that week. He was only cheating against his team mates who knew what he was doing! Heck of a player probably but doesn't mean he is not a dick of a guy!
