Patrick Reed is averaging 296.7 yards off the tee this season, but that cannot explain what happened at the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday. Reed was closing down trading for the day by performing the traditional gavel bang three times atop the perch over the trading floors.

He hit it a little bit too hard on the third time.

The gavel head broke off and flew down to the floor. It was at this point I expected Reed to call in his bald eagle and ride away into the New York afternoon wearing only some American flag-themed boxer briefs.
