However, PointsBet, an online bookie partner of the PGA Tour, offers a refund. After Reed sealed the deal at Torrey Pines, PointsBet posted on his Twitter account that he would refund pre-tournament bets on all players other than Reed at the Farmers Insurance Open.

The bookmaker called this decision the result of a meeting of his “Karma Kommittee”. The refund is not in cash, but rather in the form of credits that can be used to place future bets.

The PGA Tour and PointsBet announced a multi-year partnership in August 2020 which designated PointsBet as the official betting operator of the Tour.

Reed dropped free on the 10 for a recessed ball after his approach ended well to the left of the green and in a big rough. As reruns of the shot showed the ball had rebounded, Reed was told, when he asked the marshals, that they had not seen the ball bounce. Neither his two playing partners, nor any of the three caddies in the group saw the ball bounce. So, Reed alerted the other two men in the group that he was going to check if the bullet was embedded.

He picked up the ball, put his finger in a hole in the ground, and decided the ball was embedded. He then asked a settler to make sure the ball was squeezed in and the manager, Brad Fabel, said it was. Reed was cleared to drop and made the par, then finally took a part of the lead pack.

“At the end of the day, after I called the adjudicator and everything on the 10, and after they confirmed the score after the round that I had followed the correct protocols to do what I was doing. was supposed to do, at that point everything was put away ”, Reed said. “It was what we were supposed to do and they said we did it right.
