According to reports, Patrick Reed's caddie, Kessler Karain, got into an altercation with a fan after Reed dropped his third-straight match in the Presidents Cup.
It's been a rough start to the 2019 Presidents Cup for former Masters champion Patrick Reed.
Initially, Reed lost his first two matches of the event. And now, according to Golf Channel's Steve Sands, Reed's caddie, Kessler Karain, got into an altercation with a fan after Reed dropped his third-straight match in Saturday morning's (Australian time) four-ball session.
"It got a little out of control there after the match," Sands
said on the event's broadcast. Sands reported that both the PGA Tour and event security are aware of the incident.According to reports, Karain was scheduled to meet with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan at 2:30 p.m. local time.
Through his first three Presidents Cup matches, Reed was a frequent target of taunts from the International team fans.
Less than a week ago at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, Reed was penalized two strokes for appearing to deliberately improve his lie in a bunker during the third round. The American was filmed taking a number of practice swings, which had the effect of flattening the sand behind his ball.
Reed would go on to finish two strokes behind winner Henrik Stenson.
Specifics related to Saturday's Presidents Cup event are still unclear.
Reed was already sitting out Saturday afternoon’s foursomes session.
