Patrick Reed: Beware the ‘Rocking’ Memorial Cicadas Landing On Your White Pants.

You could never argue a Patrick Reed press conference is dull. Take Reed’s pre-Memorial presser with the current World No. 9 and reigning Farmers Insurance Open winner asked to comment on a new cap sponsor, team relationships at a Ryder Cup, the state of his game returning next fortnight to Torrey Pines and where he won earlier this year. And the best question, well I think, of all and that concerned the very noisy cicadas about the Muirfield Village course and with the Texan revealing a few ...

After failing to qualify for a Torrey Pines tee time, McDowell is looking at a first year of not competing in any of the four majors since turning professional nearly 20-years ago. In fact, McDowell has competed in at least one major championship a year since making his major’s debut in the 2004 Open ...
