PATRICK REED REPLIES TO DAMAGING PERSONAL 

ACCUSATIONS, WILL 'SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT'
 

FROM GOLF CHANNEL.COM
Patrick Reed issued a statement to Golf Channel today after a book excerpt was released last week that depicted the 24-year-old as a win-at-all-costs competitor who was accused of stealing and cheating by former college team-mates.
In a statement released by his management team at IMG, Reed said, “The accusations that were made against me are serious and were intended to damage my reputation and character. They will not be taken lightly. My team and my representatives are looking into all aspects of this matter, and we look forward to setting the record straight.
“For now, I’m staying focused on my life in the present and being the best husband, father and golfer I can be.”
In the upcoming book, slated for a May release, author Shane Ryan wrote that the four-time US PGA Tour winner would openly challenge others’ talents upon meeting them and was so unpopular among his Augusta State team-mates that they hoped he lost his match in the NCAA Championship final.
Most damaging in Ryan’s story, however, were the allegations that Reed cheated during (domestic university) team qualifying rounds and stole from team-mates during his time at Georgia.
Reed is not entered in this week’s Farmers Insurance Open field.
