Patrick Reed paid tribute to the patrons of Augusta National after the LIV Golf star made his long-awaited PGA Tour return at The Masters last week.
Reed was one of 18 LIV stars who competed at the opening major championship of the year, amid the ongoing dispute between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-backed series. Even prior to his new-found LIV allegiances, Reed was often regarded as golf's pantomime villain by fans.
And with the added controversy of his recent Saudi switch, it remained to be seen how the 2018 Masters champion was going to be received by the patrons at the famous Georgia course.
