After missed cut, Reed returns to Innisbrook for second session with Leadbetter
PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Despite missing the cut at the Valspar Championship, Patrick Reed stayed overnight in the Tampa area and returned to the Innisbrook driving range Saturday afternoon for a second session with instructor David Leadbetter.
The Masters champ is struggling, with his title defense just around the corner. He followed a final-round 78 at TPC Sawgrass with scores of 77-75 to miss the cut by nine shots on the Copperhead Course. Reed and Leadbetter had not met prior to their lesson ahead of Reed’s second-round tee time, a rendezvous that was sparked when Reed’s wife and former caddie, Justine, placed a call on Reed’s behalf to Leadbetter after the opening round.
