ERIN, Wis. (AP) Patrick Reed has always been at his best when he’s been playing for his country. Playing for his country’s championship suited him quite well, too, on Saturday.
One of America’s top Ryder Cup players drenched himself in red, white and blue – including the pants with the ”USA” logo that he wore at Hazeltine last year – then plowed his way through Erin Hills over the third round of the U.S. Open.
He shot 7-under 65 to finish at 8 under. It would have been the round of the day had Justin Thomas not shot 63, matching the best number ever posted at a major.
