Despite the controversy, Reed said it did not affect him.
“Like I said yesterday with the rules official, they showed it upstairs and everything with me yesterday, that the protocols I went through and everything that transpired was the right thing,” he said.
“So from that point on, once it was handled, we just moved on and kind of went out there today and really just got on a game face, went out there and just tried to continue building the golf swing, continue feeling comfortable with hitting certain kinds of shots and going to see how the swing was going to hold up under not only being a final round, but also being in the final group and having a chance to win.
“It’s very easy when you’re making changes to make quality golf swings on the driving range.
“It’s one thing to put it in a play at a tournament in the final round at a demanding golf course like this.
“It definitely allowed me to feel very comfortable and confident with how the game is and what’s coming forward.”
