ATLANTA – Patrick Reed’s time in a Houston-area hospital last month with bilateral pneumonia was much more harrowing than many imagined.
“The first couple days they were sitting there telling me to make sure you text your family quite a bit, talk to your family, because you just don't know,” Reed said Thursday at the Tour Championship. “I mean, this is not good. We're not in a good spot right now.”
Reed was admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital on Aug. 20 and spent “five or six days” battling the pneumonia alone.
“They won't allow people in there, so it's only you in there,” he said.
