patrick

reed

what figure He has been so inspiring to his teammates and the last two Ryder Cups he debuted in Glen Eagles two years ago he was the best player on the American team and he has the responsibility of making them start winning today he is 26 years old from Houston and Texas You don't want to reveal something by committing a early mistake, I think especially with the tracking he's showing right now, you just have to go with the bass, run it up to there.

Hey guys, if you have to, you know, take your hair off and go to the next hole. How about a big sweeping hook here? Couldn't I do that? I'm not sure it's far enough away to be able to play a big sweeping hook. He's only 126. It's hard to draw much. I took a couple of blades off the ball a little bit, so in the semis I still make that chip a little bit harder. Great atmosphere here for the first game, the whole crowd is here to see the holes cut about three meters high on the top of a plateau. quite a shallow one with the back bunker right over the green trying to take a little bit off it and just a normal three wheel swing you just need to get it up to this little shallow shelf give yourself a reasonable putt at parry's in a bad position in the bunker yeah, Well, it's on the flat part of the bunker, it has a pretty good life, but it will face the left of the hole, if it attacks Hulk, you can't turn much from these bunkers, I don't think.

I could hold it on the shelf, it's trying to get about eight feet to the left of the hole, keep it at the same level, that's just magic, it was a good read for the power, well, this tiddler for half in the Second friend, Patrick Reed, is not very good. drive at first light, cave, oh, perfect tee shot here for the rod in the middle of the fairway to the right front hole location. 113 plays around 117 because it's uphill, I mean I'm sure this is behind, he can use it to turn back if he wants. pick rory has the ball above his feet from 95.

It's not a problem with an angle coming from the right of the right pin because the greens are very soft. Patrick Reed is ready to go at reasonable second speed on these greens and this is a good one Spieth looks one up as we go to second and rory with us to win his match or win it all against

patrick

reed

patrick reed patrick reed I'm calling him you have his speaker that's his nickname I just have to keep it a little low there's a branch up there it's not too bad a very quick putt all the way down the hill I mean you'll be able to read the number and the name on this ball as it rolls it'll go very slow, a little too playful with that type of break quite similar, less downhill than he had on the previous hole,

mcilroy

still has the t as from the beginning, but this time he is one up 189 yards from an elevated tee, plays a couple of yards shorter than the distance, obviously that The front bunker is in play, it's only about four yards above the front edge, so you have to take that bunker out of play, it could get buried there and since the shot Mcelroy's a little bit of wind has picked up, it's actually in the player's face here on the four, so Reed has that to deal with.

He hit a great draw. Patrick Reed. Oh, I really didn't expect Reed to miss that little guy. He has fit in extremely well this year on the PGA Tour and particularly here at the Ryder Cup this week. Well, certainly good. There are only 303s available to him here and all he needs is a 3-wood and that's what he has in his hand driver. I'd take it to the green, I'm sure it's a good full 3-wood going to the right, we're talking about going to the tee. that's perfect driver reed beautiful tee shot to give yourself this eagle charm patrick reed has already reached the par five sixth safely on the fairway another huge hole the longest of all 640 yards third shot for patrick reed can't hold on again kenny de No this range, I wouldn't beat it, I didn't see it with great confidence, third shot of mackerel, I just saw a beauty from Reed, let's see what Rory can do and I answer that you couldn't expect much more, but a very good moment of play here, Rory can't make the hole a little smaller for Spieth, he has to think that Reed is going to hold, so this for birdie four, oh my God, Patrick goes with the big club here at seven, very little victory . all you have to do is help him from the right and this road curves from left to right around the lake it doesn't really suit his shape, you would want to shape him from left to right, but he has driven well here so far this week, has the A big club that he will try to hit up there, at the top of the hill, about 20 meters beyond where the rod is at the base of the slope, two very good tee shots a little downwind, from the right on the left, help here for the rod he's on. a nice uphill slope that really suits this shot well, it is 77 yards, the flag is lowered on a flat part of the green, the slope behind it is too far back to use it so you will have to control the distance on your own you have been searching. something a little better rory has a 51 yard ball under his feet and a slight downward slope this is not an easy shot and there is more tailwind from this angle it is a little difficult he has to land this and hope to bounce forward wake up strong opinions jay you know, nico kosats, well, belgium, who was in the last european cyclist cup team, just tweeted at rory, please take care of that kind of reading, well, rory has had a little puncture, like this which i think they're both probably good, absolutely, that stokes it up now, rory. for the half to have it at birdie three, this is going to break left to right, start it off the left edge, very easy swing, no match from t to green, but once you get to the green, I think you'll probably everything is considered cane. he has the advantage oh rory putting from the lower level and when he starts going up the hill he is braking from right to left he is on the upper plateau he will continue to slow down but not as much even though he is losing speed this is just about trying to get it there in two pots, I know Mickelson held it from the bottom to the end of the upper level yesterday, but it's highly unlikely that he'll just try to come out with a three, this is the most surprising thing, it's enjoyable, what were the chances of them taking this? one in 20 1 and 40.

Doesn't matter, he did it and you couldn't stand Patrick Reed following him around for years and years. The fairway just bends a little from right to left and you can kick it if you really nail one. you can go down a slope and kick it forward an additional 20 meters. These bunkers are so flat and easy that he will also want to play the high draw. Work with the slope, something in the air quite easily in a long way if he tries to do it. hit it on the green, put it in play, hit it fat and hit the lip here, yeah, absolutely Jay said it right, not a big lie.

He had a very difficult shot coming out of the rough trying to judge. Now mcilroy has 168 good lies. the uphill can get you to the green no problem, plays several yards more than the uphill yards, will probably play this around 174. a bad shot by mcelroy patrick drawing a good lie here has very little green to work with so The green that there is slanted from left to right which means you have to take it further to the left which gives you less green to work with but it also faces you a bit but I think a good shot will be 12 feet beyond the hole, but John had the ball so well placed on the grass that I think he just slid it under.

Rory's got a really good spot here, a lot of green to work with all over his forehead and this should come out a little bit low and run up. the hole ian poulter just walked up to me a second ago and says oh both six under everything square shrug can you believe it's square? Well, Reid has here the driver out of 10 trying to move him from right to left, this one has a perfect line if he doesn't pass through the street, yes, I hit pretty softly, there is no danger at this time of year, the goalkeeper is a bit unpredictable on some fairways, costs 305 to get that third bunker, costs about 325 to get to the fairway on the left edge. from that bunker and he's taking it to the left to sit nice, he's got 162, he plays 12 yards less so you've got 150, this is just a good wedge here for Rory to fly it up there, he'll come from such a height.

Don't expect him to be able to grab the slope and roll towards it. The slope shortens to the right, which will feed downward. You may have hit that a little fat, yes certainly, pretty average, pretty good, two left from that angle, well, Patrick's got 158. here's the ball slightly above his feet, he's got a slight slight too. slope down so this will play in the mid 140's here, I think Patrick can hook a little wedge there and take it back to the hole. a very soft swing, those are the two bad shots, they just want to roll this close oh no, no, he hasn't done it again with the slope, the ball will go up in the air and be in front of him, so You don't want to roll too much. and yes, mcelroy, for half the drivers of these two guys on this hole, part five uphill, rory can get there safely with a good one, take a couple of sunday's best for reid, it's sunday and that was Pretty cool, 605 yards across this entire dogleg, right?

So, Reed may have trouble getting to him simply because he will have to cut the ball a little bit. Now, Mcroy, he's got the big stick out there too. Is there anything else? Yeah, they think he's, I mean, and a lot of times, as you know, Mark, he seems like a player. just on the angle, but we get our yards through virtual i's GPS technology and we know mcilroy is far away, but here goes, that's a good high cut from Reed, he probably came up short, like Jay said, like he did yesterday, he played it to the right.

For a better angle, I didn't try to put it in the fairway, there is very little breeze, but what is in his face, he will look to hit a tie a little high, he should adjust to this with the hole on the left side of the green . He's set up for a fade jay, but I think he's holding on to it to the left, oh, he's got this left hook on the short side of the bunker, he may have already said, you know what I mean, Rory's got a very tight lie here, the good news is a slight upslope you can't see the green where you are hitting it, you only have about 14 feet of green to work with, you have it wide open and you are going to play the big high shot from the flop we made below.

Rory has this from the middle of the slope, a big slope. playing left to right the last 12 feet or actually downhill you have to be very careful in stroke play this would just be a defensive putt try to dip there around the hole maybe you will get lucky and land carefully that is the slope I was talking about. About once he gets to the top of the hill, about nine feet away, he's downhill, now Roy has a pretty easy bar putt up the hill, so it shouldn't be a struggle. Yeah, this study Patrick Reed's study realized the risk, like I said, well, I thought.

This putt for Mcelroy was uphill, but the way Reed's ball died around the hole to the left while he was doing this is going to have some left to right, so it will be a little more difficult than he initially thought. The right thought in six halves. in a row for these two since Reed won the fifth with an eagle oh my god, okay, I heard it the first time ooh, that might hurt, that's going to hurt. mcilroy prepared for a cut, I think he's usually from right to left anyway, right? Yes, he is playing for a cut, will he come back?

Yeah, the ability to tease the crowd with that good swing just tells you that you're reveling in the moment that you're going to get a reaction if he pulls this off on the green. It will be a very good shot from this distance, maybe a little shortsighted now that Rory has 203 balls under his feet, a little unfortunate, he is in a depression so there is some tall grass down there he will have to deal with . I really had to dig. So he knew he couldn't afford to miss it. You could actually just bite it a little bit, but he has the base of the club wide open.

He'll probably fly 12 or 13 feet from the hole. He'll need a rebound. or two before he stops, he still has a little bit of spin size that got him away from the hole. It takes a lot of downward club head speed on the bottom, although he opens the blade up, raises the club head speed and spins now, who's going? To flash first, well Rory has this one slightly across the slope from left to right, there's not a huge amount to it but it's enough to start outside the hole and have the perfect pace to put some pressure on Patrick if he can hang on to this . one first, well this is the type of putt he's been eating up all week and here is a very good opportunity for Reed to put his nose in front of the left, he hasn't missedone all week, he just hasn't failed, he doesn't know what.

For me, when you start puttingts, the longer you hold on, the more you think you can hold on at this level, it gives you so much confidence that you know you have the right rhythm and line and he just loves it? oh, now rory has the ability to hit the ball higher than most players, maybe anyone, so he has the opportunity to hit it on the green and stop it near the pin. Oh, and maybe he needed half a stick more, he was urging her to go, maybe he just stalled. in that little bit of a breeze 240 with a four iron hole shaft it's on a downhill slope very hard sand the green coming away from this is a very difficult shot that's a really good effort that's a gorgeous baby shot made to look incredibly easy but that took an enormous amount of skill, this big break from the right to get back on balance.

Reed still has a lot of work left to do on his part, but when you lose like that after so many halves, the temptation is to keep going and try hard too much and end up giving away holes. Here's an awesome statistic, jen, I know you only like those. Rory had once before been behind in a singles match and that was to Stuart Sink in 2010, he came halfway. He's never trailed in his last two Ryder Cup singles. He's pretty good, isn't he? Oh, we just lost it at the bottom. side and too much speed wow great turning point here's a huge putt for rory mcelroy just to win the 13th to get back to the old square and this is uphill it's not an obvious line this is a tough read for the half no wind here in the 14th uphill shot plays three yards longer than the 141st.

It comes the same distance from Mcelroy all the time, practically at the same angle, but his ball hits the grass, but it is very wet under it, there is a big chunk of mud stuck to the face. the club is patrick has a downhill slider from left to right to win the hole and going two up with four to play would be a huge differential certainly not insurmountable this is not an easy putt the first half is pretty good downhill is about half an hour cup maybe even as much as a cup outside to the left certainly gave it a little break and it moved from left to right obviously too well.

This is all about club selection. If you take the driver, you really have to bend it from the right. To the left, going a little to the right, I think everything will be fine. Now Rory needs a good handle, but with his driver Warren can take him over the trees and down to the ground, leaving a really nice little threesome. shot of a quarter wedge of sand, let's hit it straight a little good, okay, honors, even both on the right ground, but both with a reasonable appearance are well, downhill, eyeball slightly above their feet, you have two options, you can throw it low and towards that bank and leave it. release it to the hole or you can try to throw it into the air.

I don't think doing it in the air is a great option because it has some hanging branches and looks low, so look for it to hit against the bench. He has 71 to take the crest and then gently descends towards the hole because of the lie he had to play towards the bank he didn't beat it Rory first for birdie he took a good look at the big electronic scoreboard just to the left for the screen, he knows that you need to turn it around for a big right-to-left two-point swing to get it a couple of feet outside right, well, there's a huge part for Patrick Rejay, isn't there?

He really is and believe me, he is not lost. for anyone with that huge scoreboard lurking on the other side of the lake this is uphill from left to right all the captains are here on davis street love darren clark everyone knows this is going two up with three to play yes this stage this no , come on, come on, yeah There's a bit of sportsmanship to impress the spectators, but I wonder what the captains think. Leave it to the players, if they think they're both going to hold up well, why don't we move on? The rod will have to be manufactured.

A little cut shot here, as everything in the landing area tilts and bends from left to right. Nice shot of tea. I think it was a big tee shot there, for sure, with a draw, but it certainly was John, especially since this guy can get there easily. of the rough, it does seem to be sitting a little bit, but you have it down there, within that distance, but the advantage for patrick reed and rita is 257, side hill, descent, eyeball, well below your feet, just over 230 to the leading edge, okay, regroup. 95. great lie here a little below the level of the green throw it beyond the hole turn it throw it about two or three yards beyond the holes ideally Reed is a little downhill here you have no chance of making it close unless you land In the rough between the bunker and the green, the grass between the bunker and the green is not very long and is inclined towards the green, so simply fluff it anywhere on the grass as long as it has a semi-low trajectory it will reach the hole we have seen you make some great bunker shots ok rory for the half just stay one down up hill great break from right to left already conceded reid's birdie has good line birdie birdie rory to have a shot opportunity or just a smidge of breeze starting to pick up helping from the right for rory this is probably a good full nine iron maybe pinch it a little take away some of the loft it's so high in the sky but hey it's pretty good just got back to the green but that was in the stratosphere, what is that?

You wonder how they control the distance when they hit so high yeah, I have no idea. I've never hit one that high. Oh, I guess I just have to get him down there this is just going to test his ability to pace he has to go he has to go he has to go go go go up the hill well this is a huge putt for mcelroy to win the hole he has to make the match down the 18th putt very quickly, this fairway narrows in the driving area around 300. It's kind of strange here on the 18th.

There's not a lot of trash, there's not a lot of people here, everyone is in for the most part. the rod of the golf course. He knows what he has to do, he hasn't handled the ball well, but he's obviously been tough, he's bowled phenomenally well today, as he has in the previous four games, he'll aim for the right bunkers playing his draw, I mean, that's well done by both in the middle of the fairway great play single irons deep to this hole quite generous location from a nice little lie up the hill reed from 143 a good time to take a second shot not sure the heart of Rory will accept these guys getting excited up in a millisecond now mcilroy is on an upward slope 123. he's going to play closer to 127 up the hill he knows what he has to do he reads close there he's absolutely conscious down the hill I'm thinking maybe a bit from right to left i remember this green, rightly so, nerves of steel and it takes a big heart, oh, right in the middle for rory, who is red on the board for USA in the main match, played with bravery, every match, incredible, gave us a great show, although rory the play on the The first eight holes, I think if they ever show it on a reel you'll think you're making it up, it was just brilliant.
