AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Like legions of golfers his age, young Patrick Reed wanted to grow up to be Tiger Woods. He took lessons at Hank Haney's ranch in Texas at a time when Haney was teaching Woods. He studied Tiger as if he were a grown-up NFL scout trying to find the secret to an opponent's success.
Reed's instructor at the time, Peter Murphy, would tell ESPN.com that his student learned that he didn't just wanted to play like Tiger; he wanted to act like Tiger, too.
