Patrick Reed spoke with the media for the first time since Tiger Woods named him one of the U.S. Presidents Cup team’s four captain’s picks last week.
Following last year’s U.S. loss at the Ryder Cup, Reed caused a stir when he criticized then-captain Jim Furyk along with Jordan Spieth, who had successfully paired with Reed in previous matches before the two were split up in Paris.
Asked Tuesday if he’d had a chance to clear the air with Woods prior to being named a pick, Reed said he’s spoken with the entire U.S. team about last year’s controversy.
