Reed was seen flexing his left hand near the 10th tee box at Wentworth Club shortly before leaving the course. He was 9-over-par on the front nine, including one triple-bogey and two double-bogeys.

Commentators on the DP World Tour broadcast speculated about whether Reed may have struck a root while hitting from the trees on the par-4 ninth hole.

Reed, 36, carded a 4-under 68 in Thursday’s opening round with five birdies and one bogey. He was two shots back of co-leaders Aaron Rai and Joakim Lagergren entering Friday.
