There are plenty of rumors surrounding Reed and his family - some say he was abused mentally and physically as a kid.
Who knows - no one close enough to the situation seems to want to talk about it. He hardly even plays practice rounds with other players. He’s a loner and has been since he was a kid.
I think the big problem with him is he absolutely refuses to own up to any of it or talk about it. It seems like if you just spill it and take that hit, it'll go away. He and his wife won't say a word about it outside of a couple social media hits which have been debunked by people without really anything to gain. If you stole something or tried to cheat in a qualifying round when you were 19 or whatever, people aren't going to hold that against you forever unless you let the other 100 stories fester as well and never address anything. He's interesting and he will make the game better in the same way that Bubba Watson does. There needs to be a heel of some sort.
