Patrick Reed denies cheating at Tiger Woods' Hero World Challenge after penalty

“They brought it up to me, and when I saw it it definitely did drag the sand, that’s why they gave the two-shot penalty.

“I didn’t feel like it really affected my lie, every time I get int he bunker I always feel too scared to get my club even close to it.

“Whenever you do that, if it does hit the sand, just like if you’re in a hazard area and you take a practice swing and it touches the grass and the gras breaks, you get a penalty.

“Because of that and because of the replay, it’s a two-shot penalty and I accept that, it wasn’t because of any intent, I feel like I was far enough away, but because of what they saw.”
