In the third round of the 2021 Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines (South), Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy are each given relief as a result of an embedded ball per USGA rule 16.4. Reed’s situation came on the par-4 10th hole and McIlroy’s on the par-5 18th. PGA TOUR Rules Official Ken Tackett explains what happened during each ruling in a conversation with CBS’ Jim Nantz.

The Farmers Insurance Open features a star-studded field - including two-time FedExCup winner Rory McIlroy and past champion Jon Rahm - from the scenic Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, California, near San Diego. Reigning champion Marc Leishman looks to become the event's fourth back-to-back winner, while Jason Day and Jordan Spieth make their calendar-year debuts. There's a robust group of local products teeing it up at Torrey Pines, led by multi-time TOUR winner Xander Schauffele (who went to San Diego State), and of course, Phil Mickelson - who is coming to Torrey Pines after hosting The American Express.

The rules official doesn't have to make the call in the first place, the player is allowed to make the call based on their own judgement, just like Rory had done. If anything, Reed was actually going the extra mile to check he was doing everything right. Ironically had he not called the rules official, he wouldn't have his reputation being dragged through the mud, and he would still have been following the rules.

There's two differences between these examples that may be relevant. Firstly, it's conceivable--but yes, improbable--that Rory's ball nestled back down into the impression created by his shot. The camera angle is front-on, so it's hard to judge the distance, if any, that the ball travelled on that first bounce. The camera angle on Reed's shot is unequivocal though - the ball hops at least half a foot from where the shot first lands. Unless his ball came to rest in a previous players' indent, his ball should have been just sitting down in the grass. Secondly, Reed is quick to interpret the marshall's "Ah no, I didn't see it bounce" as "No it didn't bounce." This could be innocent enough, and Reed certainly doesn't want to hear that it bounced, so I think we should allow a bit of leeway for some expected motivated reasoning. What needed to happen here is the marshall stepping forward and clarifying her comment, i.e., "Just to be clear, I said I didn't see it bounce, not that it didn't bounce." I get it that you're on live TV, there's a famous sportsperson involved, but miscommunications like this create the grey areas where stuff like this happens.

All of this is true, but the rules are still in play. If he was uncertain, he didn't have to call anyone over prior to lifting the ball just the same as Rory didn't. And if the marshall didn't think it was embedded when he felt the ball mark, he could've had him replace the ball and hit it... whereas, Rory didn't even take that measure (and he didn't have to). I'm not a fan of Reed's, but he's a victim of his own reputation here, IMO. Your points are valid, though.

@@slickrick2470 Yes, I think so too, but Rory did the correct thing (if he was to take an advantage), called the playing partners first, lifted the ball to check, THEN PUT IT BACK IN THE SAME SPOT AS HE FOUND IT, Patrick did not do that. Rory's partners could have easily come to have a look and dispute it and he probably would have played the ball as it lies. If Patrick did the same thing as Rory, and the playing partners might just say go ahead and take a drop then.... we wouldn't be talking about this thing all over the internet now. He wanted to cheat that's why he asked did anyone saw the ball bounce...who asks that? He was already looking for a backup reason to cheat.

We have to understand what evidence Reed had available to him before he made the call to move his ball. If people who witnessed the shot couldn't tell him whether it bounced or not, it can be seen as reasonable given the ground conditions that his ball was plugged. Legally, he is allowed to make the call without the use of a rules official anyways. Ironically he went the extra mile by checking that he is following the rules correctly, which has been confirmed by multiple officials that he was following the rules, but people are saying that he only called the rules official in the first place due to a case of "guilty conscience".

Exactly jord a being embedded means it just plugs straight into the ground. They do not hit the ground then bounce up. Both those shots were not embedded shots as we know it.

He saw that bad lie and said to himself “ I’m using the embedded excuse here.” The Marshall lady contributed to this debacle in some way. Patrick picking up the ball and moving it is problematic, like he didn’t think the official would agree it was embedded if he saw it “ still there in the original spot “. Patrick got the bad confusing info from the lady, then Patrick did what we now know Patrick does, which is ....A propensity to try and “ manipulate his lie”. He is an opportunist when it comes to his lie. Other golfers don’t go “there”....he does

The New Rule: In the new Rules of Golf, the wording of the rule, or “default,” has essentially been flipped. Rule 16.3 gives relief for a ball embedded anywhere in the “general area” (the new term for “through the green”). The Committee may adopt a Local Rule restricting that relief to areas cut to fairway height or less in the general area. But it’s likely most won’t opt to do so. In short, instead of enacting a Local Rule to get the relief, relief will now be given across the board unless a specific Local Rule is enacted to restrict relief. Why It Was Changed: According to the USGA, this change makes sense because, regardless of whether your ball is in the fairway or rough, having to play a ball that is stuck in wet or soft ground “should not be considered part of the normal challenge of playing a course.” Additionally, other relief Rules do not make distinctions based on the height of the grass in the general area. Will It Be Controversial? This Rules change is likely a welcome one, and isn’t expected to incite any controversy. How It Can Help You: If you happen to be faced with an embedded ball, the Local Rule allowing relief is now the default, which should help eliminate confusion. And this is in Rule 16. 4 If relief is allowed and the player takes relief, there is no penalty even if the player did not mark the spot of the ball before lifting it or cleaned the lifted ball.

There is zero chance that Rorys shot landed back on the pitch mark after bouncing. The camera angel makes it seem that could be the case but if you look very closely you can tell it bounced at least a foot ahead of the original mark. Both players bent the rules to gain an advantage and it’s hilarious that Rory is getting a free pass while Reed is being chastised. And you can bet that at least a dozen other players did the same thing that day that wasn’t caught on camera.

The ball bounced a foot after landing and embedded through thick rough, really? If that is the case not sure why it didn’t embed when he took drop. What has been missed is the placing of the ball to similar position to where he will drop to see how the ball will lie which surely is breaking the rules. Not sure why you would be walking in the rough where you could potentially be taking a drop other than to gain an advantage (use the expansion joint on the path as reference). Rory was not seeking to gain an advantage, he dropped the ball in a similar lie and it was not visible after he did so. Would love to know where this “Breaking the plane” phrase came from. So you can be in the rough in aa indent of a few millimetres and get a drop but no drop if your on the fairway in a divot.

First it was more like 200 meters. Second, with the speed their balls are traveling it is reasonable to believe that a ball can leave a second impression in very soft/muddy conditions. Probably more so in area where Reed's ball landed than Rory's. Reed's area was by a cart path where people had trampled down some of the thick/plush rough as contrasted by Rory's where it was very thick and the ball would more easily be absorbed by the thick grass on the bounce than dig in.

Nonsense: Both shots, from both players - bounced - and they do so, clearly - the “conditions” were therefore not so severe (“soft” ) that the turf (the “rough”) could not repel the ball - it did...in both cases. A golf ball does not and will not “embed” on a second bounce in those circumstances - period. In Reid’s case, there is no way the trajectory of that shot, followed by a clear bounce, could then “break ground” and become embed or create a “lip” in the ground. In Rory’s case (or in any other like case) a ball will not bounce in that kind of rough and return to embed itself in the EXACT same spot. Again, nonsense.

Everything he did was within the rules. The volunteers said they didn't see a bounce, the rule allows you to move the ball and the official gave him the green light to drop. Idk what all of your problems are. The PGA allowed it so time for you to get over it.

We all saw the ball take a hope forward, and didn't come to rest where his ball originally landed, if you look, Patrick starts fiddling with the ball then tells his playing partners that he wants to check it... Miraculously his ball either came to rest in a different pitch mark, or he straight up embedded his own ball by pushing it down when he was fiddling with the lie, so that's why he called the rules official over to show him that the ball was embedded, which would somewhat justify him taking relief. Plus, since we all know he's a cheater, calling the official over will make it seems less likely he cheated if they concurred with his ball being in a pitch mark.

@@wanlover477 Rory has no form for cheating and never seems to try to gain any sort of advantage. I dont recall him ever trying to get a ruling that would help him unless completely justified. With all he has achieved in the game why choose this tournament to suddenly change his MO? Further after the fuss over Reed earlier in the week why would you do the exact same thing? Unless the ball was genuinely embedded. Reed on the other hand has a history of blatantly cheating and being caught. He has every reason to do it because it is what he does. There's a very good chance he improved the hole pushing the ball into the ground while looking at it then got an official to give a ruling to basically gloss over his action. Now while I agree the incidents are very similar, you must understand why so many people condemn Reed and not Rory.

Rory asked his competitive playing partner, and he's one of the most honest golfer on the tour. Please give it a break, it's nonsense to call them "cheaters".

What makes me assume he’s cheating is that he covered up the camera as he played with his lie at 0:33 while the rules official was on his way. After he played with the lie, the official felt a lip. Conclusion: Reed dug a lip. Nobody working for the tour considered that. The tour clearly is biased for reed.

Knowing Patrick Reed, this could be the point where he used the ball or his finger to dig a lip in the ground. But I honestly wanna give him the benefit of the doubt in this one instance ONLY because the volunteer said the ball didn’t bounce. If the ball doesn’t bounce, 9/10 times it’s gonna be embedded.

Yes I know he pressed down on ball that's why he was hovering for like 5 seconds hand on ball before moving the ball out of way and calling rules official. That's why official was wondering where ball was, he just needed a slight lip to get his favor. Then he choose a easier lie, atleast rory dropped in the same deep rough. Reed is a joke and everything he does in his career will be scrutinized no matter how clean or dirty he plays, but that's on him for his multiple actions.

You know what the clear difference is... Rory didn't search for some patch of grass that was better than the other. He didn't look to take advantage of the rule. Reed, on the other hand, looked for this 1x1 patch of grass that was stepped down and not as lush. I can't say weather or not Reed did anything to his ball when he checked it to see if it was embedded, but he took advantage of the rule and improved his lie afterwards.

It had to be in fairway for this relief until Jan 2019 and you can see why. Pretty much impossible to determine whether a ball is "below the level of the ground" in deep rough. I think they should revert to the previous rule. Clearly neither player was entitle to relief given that their balls bounced but they could not see that. At least Reed asked for a ruling.

The issue is not the rules, but the fact that he kept messing with the lie. We can clearly see him touching the lie after having removed the ball.

The organisation should put an official next to him in all tournaments, at least in Major.
