A dramatic contrast to the emotional pandemonium that greeted Sergio Garcia’s victory a year earlier was the quiet clapping as Patrick Reed holed out on the last green to win the US Masters.
The last round didn’t have the same energy, of course, but there’s more to this response than meets the eye.
What is Patrick Reed’s relationship with his parents?
Since his prime as an elite amateur, Patrick Reed has been a contentious figure.
At the University of Georgia, Reed had difficulties; as a result of his arrest for underage drinking and possession of a fraudulent ID, he was sentenced to 60 hours of community service.
Things weren’t much better in terms of golf, though. Golf author Shane Ryan describes an incident that is still talked about on the Tour in his book, “Slaying The Tiger.”
Reed first met Justine Karain while attending Augusta State. When Patrick and Justine, both 22 years old, got married in 2012, it created a gap between the young couple and Bill and Jeannette Reed, who were not invited to the wedding along with their younger daughter Hannah.
