American Reed wants Olympic golf format tweaked for 2020 (Reuters)

GREENSBORO, North Carolina (Reuters) - As much as Patrick Reed enjoyed the Olympic experience, he would like to see the format tweaked for Tokyo 2020.

The Rio men's golf competition last week was staged like a regular small-field tour event - 72 holes of stroke play with no team aspect.

Even though Reed was one of four Americans in Rio, they were competing against each other, not with each other and for those out of medal contention there was little on the line in the final round other than pride and a few world ranking points.
