Patrick Reed: Unbeaten in four matches on his Ryder Cup debut

Patrick Reed: Unbeaten in four matches on his Ryder Cup debut

Ryder Cup star Patrick Reed has confirmed that he has accepted a place in next week's Volvo World Match Play at the London Club in Kent.

Reed was the stand-out star of the American team at Gleneagles, winning three and a half points from his four matches in an impressive, unbeaten Ryder Cup debut.

The entertaining 24-year-old is looking forward to returning to the UK for the elite 16-player tournament, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

Reed will be joined by six members of the victorious European Ryder Cup team, with Graeme McDowell defending his Match Play title over the International Course.

Henrik Stenson, Thomas Bjorn, Jamie Donaldson, Victor Dubuisson and Stephen Gallacher are also confirmed starters, and Reed is relishing the chance to compete in match play once again.

Reed, who has won two PGA titles this year, said: "Although we suffered a very disappointing loss at Gleneagles, I enjoyed the competition of my first Ryder Cup and can't wait to get back out there to play in another match play event in the UK.

Ryder Cup stars

"With six of the European Ryder Cup players in the field, I am excited to be representing the Stars and Stripes overseas once again at the London Golf Club."

Former Ryder Cup stars Francesco Molinari and Paul Casey, who won the 2006 edition at Wentworth, will also be teeing up along with 2014 Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Champion Pablo Larrazabal and two-time PGA Tour winner Jonas Blixt.

The additional qualified players completing the field, which features 10 of the world's top 50, are last year's runner-up Thongchai Jaidee, Alexander Levy, Joost Luiten, Shane Lowry and Mikko Ilonen.

They will compete for a first prize of 650,000 euros (£510,371), with a total of 2.25million euros (£1.76million) up for grabs.

The field will be split into four groups of four, with the leading two players from each group moving through to a knockout phase that will be played over the weekend.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
