Patrick Reed To Contend Again At Mayakoba Golf Classic
Patrick Reed came up just short in Bermuda and had to settle for a tie for second place. This was much better than a missed cut and an outside the top-60 finish. Reed thrives on short courses where he can be a little creative. The Mexican course is short at around 7,000 yards which means […]
