Patrick Reed Has Nothing To Crow About At Match Play - Dog Leg News

About the author

Tom Edrington

Tom Edrington spent the first 10 years of his misguided youth as a sports writer for the Tampa Tribune. His career brought him face to face with many of sports greatest stars -- Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali, Don Shula, countless Hall of Fame NFL stars, more PGA Tour players than he can count. In 1980 he was honored by the Golf Writers Association of America for writing the best news story that year, his coverage of Jack Nicklaus' U.S. Open victory at Baltusrol. Today, 36 years later, golf is still a great part of his life, thanks to competitive playing days and the wonderful people he has met on this fabulous journey.

    Tom Edrington proved his ignorance with this article. Why not just come out and say you hate Patrick Reed. You obviously don’t know him or have an eye for golf talent. Why don’t you
    Just go back to drinking your vodka and stop writing because you’re an idiot.

      Drinking vodka? Patrick Reed looked like he was playing with a hangover, wasn’t able to win a single match over three days. It was Reed himself who said he’s a Top 5 player but certainly doesn’t play like it. Besides, I’d prefer a cold beer with “Beef” Johnston.

    Pretty rough comments. Obviously, the writer has something against Reed.

      Nothing against Reed, don’t even know him, haven’t met him but have observed how he touts himself as a “Top 5” player, his words, not mind. His mouth writes checks that his play cannot cash. Supposed to be a match play monster but didn’t win a single match in this event. That in and of itself speaks volumes. Again, nothing against him except for the fact that he exalts himself unlike a guy like Dustin Johnson who quietly keeps proving he’s the best in the business.

    It was a couple of years (Doral) when he said he thought he was a top 5 player. Where is he ranked now? Not too far from that. I’m no fan of Reeds, but the criticism of him by this writer seems to me to be a little tough. Possibly the writer has had a bad day or he was snubbed somewhere when asking for an autograph or interview.

      First, would never ask Reed for an interview or an autograph, why would I? Have autographed pictures of myself with Muhammad Ali, Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Bowden, Arnold Palmer and a few more. Never had a bad day as a writer. We will let Mr. Reed’s match play record this week in Austin speak for itself and you can ask the question, who had a bad day, er week?
