Pro Golfer Gets Caught CHEATING 

It's like being blamed for using the tax rules.

Its like you can move the ball free of penalty and you put it on a stone and hit it from there because you would use rule to take advantage if you would 've put it on a fairway

Right

But breaking a rule to your advantage is.

@@mrwonderful1584 who broke it ? Mickelson didn't he hit moving ball...he broke it, but we can play word games here what he did/didn't break it or use it for advantage...he broke it but stikl he had an advantege over if he didn't...even breaking rules, if you still have advantage is not CHEATING its breaking the rule...

She knew how long has she been playing golf. It's just like brady and the footballs and people saying brady wouldn't be able to tell they had 2 psi lower than the 14psi😂😂 they are both pro athletes of course they cheated!😂 js no hate one love👍

@@bobbyhall7472 i mean brady's situation is a lot different especially because that is a different sport... she moved her ball less than an inch, no matter how she putted it, she would not have missed because it does not make a difference. she probably did it on accident

It’s still cheating and she has a responsibility to the field to play by the rules or accept the penalty. Since she finished the round and signed her score card incorrectly that could actually disqualify her. And as far as a fraction of an inch, if you play golf then you should know that that can be the difference in making and missing a short put. Why do you think players do it if it doesn’t help? And plenty of players do it, I know some who have made an art of it.

@@ishrocc4489 Do you golf? 1 inch can be a humongous difference, especially mentally

@@zanierrules do you know golf? I’m pretty sure i do cuz ive been playing before i started walking. It is by rule a penalty, we can’t change that, but i doubt she did it on purpose and it would not affect her putt at all for a few reasons. 1. It was a very close putt, looked around 1-2 feet, an inch either way would not change the aimpoint and result of the putt, especially because it looked like a very flat putt 2. It was moved forward, not to the side, and due to the reason stated before, it would not change her aimpoint 3. Due to these reasons why would she intentionally make this action knowing it’s would be a a penalty on a random 2ft putt??? It would make no sense for her to change it just due to the fact that it doesn’t change how she plays the putt at all. One inch from that distance will not change how you should play that putt.

Paul Azinger got disqualified back in the early 90s at the Doral Open while on the lead when he accidentally caused a rock to move when hitting a mostly submerged ball out of a lake because some over zealous fan saw it on TV and called it in. He was DQed for signing an incorrect scorecard because the penalty was assessed the next morning. Using the same standard Tiger should have been disqualified from the Masters the year he took an illegal drop for signing an incorrect scorecard...but the Masters and PGA knew how much money they would miss out on if Tiger didn't play the weekend. But I agree 100% No other sport allows this.

Is there a video of this somewhere?

Breaking a rule is the definition of cheating. What are you even talking about lol

I don’t think it was a bunker.

@@michaelpace1075 Unfortunately, you are correct. The PGA likes to deem such areas as "waste bunkers" under local rule, as was the case in this tournament.

yep, and it was not mentioned.

It wasn't a bunker. It was a waste area.

Yeah... what's your point? Spell it out for us.

@@DWilliams-ce8nb he is probably referring to the word 'trick" in Patrick

Lolol

@@danbaumann6098 Reed's ball really did plug???? Where are you on the replay? Were you the fan who didn't see it bounce? When exactly did you personally get a look at it? Why didn't he wait for the official or at least ask his playing partner to have a look at it? He is obviously a cheating POS. I suppose you were standing at the camera angle he claimed would have shown he didn't move any sand after he lied about what was his ball to get a drop too.

@@danbaumann6098 Reed's ball 100% did not plug, no bouncing ball is plugging so far into GRASS that it's unplayable. The guy cheated for sure. Rory did too but let's not act like they BOTH didn't

@@zanierrules Agreed. Reed`s ball could not have been less plugged if it tried. LIV can have him..good riddance.

Yeah! No one should be allowed to have an opinion!

Why not? Because the golfer wouldn’t have been caught with a rules violation without the fan info? Because they would have gotten away with it otherwise? Integrity: how you conduct yourself when no one is watching.

Ignorant people like to make their opinions known. It's like a fan right. In fact, the commentator is guilty of this. He obviously doesn't understand the Rules of Golf, making numerous technical mistakes in describing what happened in in the Tiger Woods case. (BTW, Orlando Pope, PGA Rules Official, oversaw the entire situation and okayed the boulder being moved. In no way was this cheating. It was just intelligent golf.)

for the record, after that (and maybe some other similar call-in), NO call ins are allowed. If the situation isn't identified before the golfer signs their card, it's a non-issue. That is the problem with call-ins, the golfer is also penalized for signing an incorrect score. Not sure why Lexi wasn't DQ'd, so she caught a break there. No more call-ins from folks not at the golf course.

Thanks Mr Gabbles ⛳️

A ball can roll forever on a pro tour course

USGA governs the Rules of Golf. The PGA controls conduct of play, including course set-up and local rules.

There are countless videos of Reed improving his life with 'practice swings'. I remember one where the ball was deep in the rough and after he took a few practice swings it was sitting on top of the grass almost perfectly.

Thanks Shane ⛳️

Thanks for watching ⛳️

😩😩😩

John Daly did something similar at the US Open in the late 90s if I recall correctly...but we expect that kind of behavior from him when he is having a bad round.

He wasn’t even taking advantage of them, anyone could have done that, and I’m sure there would have been a ton of fans who were willing to help any pro out there who needed the rock moved just so they could be involved. The fact that it was tiger made no difference.

I'll just remark my ball 1 inch at a time lol not a good rule to get rid of

Correct. But under this tournament's local rules, the unmaintained sandy areas outside the fairways were deemed "waste bunkers". Rule 12 does not apply to such areas.

A ball can roll forever on a pro course. Debatable whether or not it helped but keeping the ball on the green instead of it potentially rolling 50 feet or more or possibly into a trap or water could keep your placement. Placement in a pro tour is worth thousands of dollars.

I know a guy who plays golf with his Saturday foursome and one guy, who he was playing against, hit a long second shot into a short par 5, with the green severely elevated (blind shot). The other 2 golfers congratulated him on most likely landing it close to the stick. The “cheater guy” drove up to the green way ahead of everyone and threw the guys shot in the bunker and placed his own ball where the other was…2 ft from the cup. When the rest of the group got to the green, cheater guy said “you’re in the bunker and I’m here.” Everyone knew what must have happened, but no one said anything. smh.

appreciate you tuning in Taylor ⛳️

I don't think he even made the cut, so who cares? He played like trash at that tournament.

If I was a spectator I'd have sat on the boulder till he lined up his next shot.

Not everyone and certainly not me. However, I don't like the way in which the penalty was flagged. It's a situation where I'd say call it as soon as you see it, so that the player can correct himself, or don't call it at all. Calling it in from home makes my skin crawl.

Nope. What she did was obvious even from a distance.

Well he didnt last week and was corrected by the officials.

Heh, heh! 🤭🤫😋

I think others had complained that she regularly altered her ball positions when marking them on the greens, much as Blaylock had done . Put the marker slightly to one side then when replacing the ball move it to the other side can alter the line if not closer to the hole. A professional should know and be able to properly mark and replace their ball...she KNEW what she did. Perhaps her other competitors didn't want to make a stink about it, but when the Officials were presented with the video evidence...and no doubt they'd heard the rumors...they took action. 4 strokes is pretty harsh..but it is what it is.

Yes, that was obviously deliberate and not forthe first time.

@@recoilrob324 u are right about that. They are professional golfers and have been playing long enough to know.
