Golfer Patrick Reed gets angry and calls himself a [homophobic slur]
“Nice fuckin’ three-putt you fuckin’ faggot.”
— Pro golfer Patrick Reed, muttering to himself, after making a bogey on the 10th hole during the opening round of the Sheshan International, part of the WGC-HSBC Champions event in Shanghai. “The PGA Tour Conduct Unbecoming regulations prohibit the use of obscene language on the golf course,” the organization said in a statement. “The PGA Tour will deal with this matter internally in accordance with its regulations.” In other words, the 24-year-old hothead will likely get slapped with a fine.
Reed later Tweeted an apology.
I'm sorry for using offensive language today in China. My passion to play well got the best of me and my word choice was unacceptable.
