PHOTO: Patrick Reed’s forehead tan line is ridiculous

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


Patrick Reed needs to yell "Fore!" when he takes off his hat. Not for an errant shot, but to alert people to the blinding contrast of his tan line where his eyebrows end and forehead begins. It's just stunning, really.

Twitter couldn't help but notice Reed's contrast in the final hole of regulation of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions on Monday. As Reed took off his cap, observers drew comparison's to Stewart Cink's ghastly Easter Egg tan on display at last year's Sony Open in Hawaii.

The difference between the two? Reed won his tournament in a sudden-death playoff against Jimmy Walker for his fourth PGA Tour win in his last 35 starts. Cink? Not so much.
