Unhinged Files: useGolfFACTS Resurfaces As Reed's Hero World Challenge Digging Anniversary Nears

We’re coming up on the two-year anniversary of Patrick Reed’s excursion in the sands of Albany and for reasons only clear to his devout Twitter supporter at useGolfFacts, also widely believed to be a family account, there is no time like the middle of the night to dredge up Reed’s suspicious behavior en route to winning the 2019 Hero World Challenge.

In reply to a January 30th—yes January 30th—Tweet by European Tour player Eddie Pepperell, useGolfFACTS randomly decided on October 26th to offer a robust set of screen shots and analysis questioning the “accuracy of the digital integrity verification testing” conducted by rules officials who ultimately penalized Reed.

It’s wild and wacky stuff:

The account also responded regarding Reed’s college days at Georgia.

Glad we clarified that last part about the free putters.

GolfDigest.com’s Joel Beall reviewed the account history of zaniness and bashing Reed’s peers, while offering this HOF Non-denial Denial from Reed’s attorney:

But to those who believe Reed’s tweet on Saturday is the smoking gun, Reed’s attorneys say that’s not necessarily the case. In response to a Golf Digest email about Reed’s Saturday night Tweet and his connection with “useGolfFACTS,” Reed’s lawyer, Phillip B. Costa, replied “Please be advised that the person who manages Patrick Reed’s Twitter and Instagram accounts does not run the @ use GolfFACTS account.” As of writing, a direct message to the “useGolfFACTS” account from Golf Digest has not been returned.
