But back to golf, is the dude still in trouble? Only with the golfing public, not the officials?

Rule 9.4b states: "If a player lifts or deliberately touches his or her ball at rest or causes it to move, the player gets one penalty stroke."
Just because you are fat doesn't make you a cheater. You must posses a character flaw!

No he’s not in trouble.
Everybody started pissing and moaning about him Saturday so he shoved it up their ass on Sunday.
That’s the only story here.
Cool,
we love winners around here!

I deleted my post, as I am not in a position to speak for any tournament committee. What local rules the playing professionals were playing under I have not been officially made aware, and I have no business speaking of those rules without such knowledge.
I can only speak my simple opinion of the existing applicable rule, according to the rules of golf. I was in the process of editing my previous post.

Rule 16.3 only applies to embedded balls. It was physically impossible for his ball to be embedded. There is video evidence of that fact. He created a false narrative that he honestly thought his ball was embedded.
LINK "Perhaps a man develops bulletproof confidence in the face of firing squads when he knows others are paid to throw themselves in front of the fusillade. How else to explain the scale of self-assurance that permits a professional golfer to palm his own ball, poke around in the ball mark, declare it was embedded, after it bounced, in 3-inch rough, with only cursory input from playing partners and none from rules officials, on live television, while leading a PGA Tour event.
"The incident on the 10th hole at Torrey Pines during Saturday’s CBS broadcast lacked the clarity of Reed’s brazen bunker misadventure in the Bahamas in 2019. The video is inconclusive: viewers couldn’t see if Reed’s ball was in fact embedded, and the rules official wasn’t presented a fair opportunity to make that determination since Reed had already moved it. Less ambiguous is the growing sentiment that Patrick Reed’s relationship to the rules of golf mirrors that of a courtesan to her clothes—as something to occasionally be cloaked in for respectability, but otherwise an impediment to the conduct of business."
LINK "After his second shot on the par-4 10th hole bounded off to the left side of the hole in the thick rough, Reed walked toward it, bent over and picked it up. He claimed that it was embedded even though video evidence shows that it took a bounce after it first landed and jumped no more than 3 feet back up in the air. For it to be embedded, the ground would have had to been insanely wet.
"Reed said after his round that nobody in his group nor the volunteer standing near the ball saw it bounce so he was checking to see if it had "broken the plane" of the ground.
"After moving it, Reed called a rules official over and had him stick his fingers in the pitch mark. The official, clearly surprised Reed had already moved the ball, confirmed that there was indeed a lip where Reed's ball first came to rest and deemed that Reed was correct to remove the embedded ball. From there, Reed went on to get a drop and got up and down for par.
"Reed (acted as if he) was shocked that the post-round video showed that the ball had bounced and confirmed that it's "almost impossible" for a ball to plug (or embed) if it bounces at all. That begs a lot of questions, not the least of which is what lip he and the rules official were feeling if it's "almost impossible" for the ball to plug when it bounces."

I would bet that, like all the other players, he probably broke some that he was totally unaware of breaking. Just by setting foot on a golf course, a person probably has already broken at least three.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.

Well it's speculation his ball wasn't embedded, if he wanted to cheat he could put the tee in then while retrieving the ball press it into the ground causing a hole, wouldn't need to press his fingers in later. Embedment is not plugged, just has to sit below ground level in the pitch mark. He could also just put the ball back and play it with no penalty, how much could he improve his lie dropping it in the same rough?
Anyway he saw it as embedded and dropped within the rules, we weren't there to dispute it.
