Patrick Reed
Patrick Reed should have either been sat down for the first four matches by Captain Tiger Woods, or as it would appear be thrown to the wolves with the weakest playing partner available. Webb Simpson is a very nice and easy to root for player, that being said, he is not really ideal in these formats(especially four ball). Now Webb may have offered to play with PR to sort of take one for the team, which is a brave thought, but PR has been nothing but a distraction. After everything that went down at Tiger’s Hero Challenge, I am absolutely shocked that Captain Woods has sent PR out to get lampooned by the largely Aussie crowds for three rounds in a row. I am “writing” this gem about three holes into the 3rd round, and barring an absolute birdie fest...I really hope PR puts on a parka and tries to blend in somewhere for afternoon foursome play.
PR needs to have his people get together with Kuchar & Thorbjorn Oleson’s people, and then after that reach out to Saturday Night Live’s Stewart Smolley for a little mirror time...”And Gosh Darnitt, People Like Me”
On a side note, those putts by Patrick Cantlay and Justin Thomas were special!
If the US team does battle back to retain the President’s Cup, I will look back to those two almost identical and beyond clutch rolls of the rock.
Go USA!
