Patrick Reed let himself go after a bad tee shot towards the end of the third round of the 2024 Masters on Saturday.
“You fucking king, this sucks.” Can you take a good golf swing today, please? “” a microphone picked up Reed saying after an errant tee shot on No. 17 landed among the trees. ” I miss it. Hit hard. I don’t know where it went.
His caddy, Kessler Karain, didn’t seem to offer any words of encouragement about the shot either.
“Coming up that 18th hole and seeing my ball again in that bigleaf tree on the right where I could barely get the golf ball forward, and my caddy looking me in the face and saying, ‘Your conduct has cost us dearly this time.’ week,” Reed said, according to Golf.com.
Saturday was Reed’s chance to make a move after following a first-round 74 with a second-round 70, but he ended up finishing the third round at Augusta National with a 1-over 73 to enter Sunday at 1-over for the tournament, eight shots behind leader Scottie Scheffler.
“Horrible,” Reed described the outing, according to Golf.com

“I drove it badly,” he added. “I hit my irons everywhere, I couldn’t tell my mileage. Then, when I calculated the distance, I hit it over the hole. I had to stay defensive all day.
Reed, 33, hit a 4-iron onto the green and managed to parr on the hole.
However, he made bogey at number 18 two days after making a double bogey on the hole.
