Meet the bearded Canadian Graham DeLaet. The player, who is ranked 146th in the world, was clearly unimpressed by Patrick Reed’s decision to withdraw from the final round of the Farmer’s Insurance Open. San Diego witnessed horrific weather and most of the field were forced to return today as play was abandoned on Sunday.
Brandt Snedeker managed to complete a round that many have called “the best they’ve ever seen” on a day when the average was 78.
Does anyone have Pat Reed’s #? I need to call him out for WD’ing and leaving us as a twosome in the final group off 10 in brutal weather.

Patrick Reed made the cut with a 69 and a 73 but stopped giving a crap after a 3rd round 81. The world number 10 withdrew with an ankle injury leaving Delaet and his partner to battle on through the elements. Reed is a very unpopular figure on Tour and his latest ‘shit bloke’ move can be added to a long list of poor decisions.
@CallmeDanny who me or P Reed? I don’t want to play in this tomorrow either when I’m in last place. You don’t WD unless you’re hurt.

It does seem curious that DeLaet would take such an exception, however, it is refreshing to see a player call out another professional for not living up to the aforementioned name.
@Bailey_Ryan6 wrong, you play because you’re a pro.

As golfers we’ll be damned if a bit or rain is going to force us to give up on a round we’ve paid for. Here’s a look at the weather Pat was ducking out on, maybe if he showed the same spirit as some of the other guys I wouldn’t be writing our umptenth article that talks about his shitness on the human scale.
