Heckling incites clutch reaction
Dec. 14: One day after Reed’s caddie was ousted from competition, Reed endured more heckling, but this time, it incited a reaction. A good one. Along with his caddie for the day, coach Kevin Kirk, Reed endured several heckles from fans at Royal Melbourne, but it only fueled his fire. One heckler who shouted, “Patrick, looks like that shovel was too much for your caddie,” was given a warning by security and the stink-eye from Red when he made a birdie putt to go 2 up on the second green during his Sunday singles match with C.T. Pan. Reed finished his match against Pan 4-and-2, giving the Americans their 11th point en route to a 16-14 victory for Team USA.
