WATCH: Patrick Reed narrowly avoids hitting bystander at LIV London, showcasing an amusingly delayed 'fore' call

Patrick Reed nearly hit a spectator and then delivered a hilariously 'fore' call. Reed has been playing at the 2023 LIV Golf London event and during the opening round, he found himself on some thick grass at the Centurion's 13th hole on Friday, July 7.

As he took his shot, the ball nearly hit a spectator standing on the left side and as the dust settled he let out a 'fore' call.

Patrick Reed. 😳
