DeLaet rips Reed for withdrawing from Farmers Insurance Open
Shots fired.
Patrick Reed withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open after shooting a 9-over 81 on Saturday. Graham DeLaet was less than impressed with the move.
Reed, who withdrew with an ankle injury, left Dalaet and Scott Piercy to play as a twosome - with awful weather conditions that predictably stalled play - in the final pairing on Sunday.
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.

DeLaet went beyond his initial tweet, calling out the No. 10-ranked player in the World Golf Rankings on several occasions:
@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.

@Bailey_Ryan6 wrong, you play because you're a pro.

Reed did not reply to the tweets, while DeLaet finished a two-day final round Monday with a 3-over 75 to finish in a tie for 69th.
