Patrick Reed suing AP, Fox, NY Post

[MileHigh]

I'm in golf media and not named in a Patrick Reed lawsuit. I feel like I've been left out of the cool kids' table.

And yeah, the guy's a hot mess. Yet found a lawyer who's even nuttier than he is.

You need to step up your game.

And had them thrown out of Pinehurst while he played in a U.S. Open there. Stole from his teammates in college. Improved his lie in a bunker (seen close-up on TV). He's a real sweetie.

To steal a line from Bob Verdi, "You could call this a knee-jerk reaction, but everyone knows Mr. Reed is not a knee."

I grew up with a guy named Knee who was anything but a jerk, and went on to be a considerate lawyer from Duke.

Was it HER parents or HIS? I thought I saw an interview once with his parents about the grandchildren but I could well be wrong.

Yes, it's his family.

Thanks for correcting my mistake.

Ian O'Connor's 2014 story on Reed is a good place to start, for the uninitiated:

O'Connor: Reed's turbulent rise to stardom

And then Shane Ryan on Reed a few months later:

The Villain: Patrick Reed

After reading those, Reed reminds me a LOT of Trevor Bauer, right down to the "none of the other kids liked him" anecdotes.

When I was covering majors, I used to like to ask the old-timers if an up-and-coming player reminded them of anyone. For example, Spieth reminded guys of Hogan, Rory of Snead, etc.

When Patrick Reed was closing out the 2018 Masters, I asked one of the writers who had been around for decades if Reed reminded him of anyone.

"Yeah," he said. "A fat ashhole."

What the hell. Reed can't sue him now. It was Jenkins.

This suit will be dropped a nanosecond after discovery causes Reed discomfort.

It's all about the discovery.
