- 2018 Masters champion picked up ball before official arrived
- Reed penalized in 2019 over incident at Hero World Challenge
Patrick Reed was involved in another rules controversy on Saturday in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.
On the par-four 10th, Reed hit a 190-yard shot out of a bunker with a TV replay showing the ball bounced once before settling into the rough. Believing the ball didn’t bounce, Reed picked it up to see if it was embedded before a rules official arrived. Reed told the official that no one in his group, as well as a nearby volunteer, saw it bounce.
