PATRICK REED’S RULES BREACH AT HERO WORLD CHALLENGE

Patrick Reed insists he does not believe his rules violation during the Hero World Challenge has damaged his reputation.

The 2018 Masters champion was penalised two strokes during the third round in the Bahamas after he twice moved sand while taking practice swings in a sandy waste area at the 11th hole at Albany Golf Club.

Reed was deemed to have improved his lie and despite his protestations that he had not intended to gain an advantage, officials said intent was irrelevant.

Asked about whether he was worried the incident would harm people’s perception of him, Reed replied: “No, because at the end of the day I wasn’t intending to improve a lie or anything like that.

“Like I said, I didn’t feel like I was doing anything that was improving a lie, but then when you saw it on camera, because of that camera angle, they said that the sand was moving, and when the sand moves like that, it’s a penalty.”
