Golf: Reed indebted to Tiger for Ryder Cup prep (Reuters)

CHASKA, Minnesota (Reuters) - Patrick Reed loves the Ryder Cup and its match play format, as he showed two years ago at Gleneagles, but he positively lit up when asked about working with Tiger Woods in preparing for this week's competition.

Assistant captain Woods has been working with a pod of U.S. players at Hazeltine comprising Reed, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar, and Reed gushed about how generous the 14-times major winner has been and how much he has learned from him.

"The way his mind works on the golf course, it's impressive and it definitely shows why he has won so much," said Reed, who believed the experience would pay dividends in his career.
