I think there was a thread on this recently. I'm pretty sure the answer is per above, @IanM

Reitan is having some round in his fist ever Masters.
Reed looks so unfussed just going about his business with quality play.

They keep talking about his putting stroke and I can see why. Very unfussy, very smooth.

I put money on P on Wednesday. Could be a decent move.

I actually like the way he plays, he just goes about his business. His swing is solid his wedge play and short game is excellent and as you say that putting stroke so simple and unfussy. You can easily see how he competes so often.

Yeah, I hate to say it, but I'm almost warming to Fatprick Reed just because he has a lovely golf game to watch. The effortless little draw swing and a beautiful soft-hands short game. It's a shame he is who he is really - but I did put a couple of quid on him this week so I have an excuse to root for him now anyway. Respect to him for going back to the European Tour and smashing it as well.

Think there is a spelling mistake on his shirt though - surely it should say OAF rather than OATH

Yes he’s had his moments but in general he has always played all over the world even before LIV he played a lot of DPWT events. He’s the panto villain in the Ryder cup but he’d have made a hell of a difference to them last year.
I’m now a fully fledged fan I just really
Like his overall game.

I'll be trying really hard to channel his short game this weekend that's for sure.

Rory makes a 2 on 12 and still tees off 3rd on the 13th

agree 100%, he plays some incredibly pretty golf and my word is he good - especially his short game. He’s rather hard to like as a person, but I don’t really care as I’m watching him play golf, not having a beer with him.
He’s on my betslip alongside Rose, Hatton and Penge. I have Reitan in the sweepstake and Davis Riley too (currently in last, high score of the day!)
I thought Rose was playing beautifully today, he was very unlucky to not shoot better. In fact, he probably feels he left about 10 shots out there today.
Please don’t let Reed win
I’m afraid I just can’t see beyond the controversial rulings which have been all too frequent throughout his career.
Fabulous golfer, and I agree he’s a big supporter of the world game. But there will always be question marks for me.

Radar dribbling nonsense and Faldo telling him he is wrong- you can tell which one of them has won around there 3 times

Following Fleetwood & Reed in group you'll see some great striking.
Should Reed win, would be historic to have a winner who is suspended from PGAT
And a boost for DPWT (for a few months)

Yeh, interesting that was. Literally said ‘no radar, he’s got to do xyz’ and McIlroy did exactly that.
Have to say, Faldo’s been decent so far, definitely reigned it in.

Looks like 7 of my 8 bets are making the cut with 3 in the top 5 places... so plenty of interest this weekend.

He comes across as annoying at times but he does know what he’s on about when it comes to Augusta.
