Met a group of guys this morning in town from Ohio, here to see some golf. I see one of them an hour later riding shotgun in a golf cart with a security officer. “Don’t ask Patrick Reed to sign your shovel.”

The USGA will review the video of No. 5 with Dustin Johnson immediately following his round. A determination will be made at that time.
