SAN DIEGO – Patrick Reed found himself embroiled in another rules controversy, but this time the rulebook was on his side.
After hitting his drive into a bunker and pulling his approach shot wildly left and into the rough at the par-4 10th hole Saturday at Torrey Pines, Reed determined that his ball was embedded after being told by a nearby volunteer that it did not bounce when it landed.
Reed marked where his golf ball had stopped and picked it up before calling in rules official Brad Fabel, who concurred that Reed's golf ball was embedded and he was entitled to relief.
