Patrick Reed refused to allow Brooks Koepka's stinging remarks impact his fine opening round of two-under-par to begin the WGC-Mexico Championship. Reed's 69 puts him four shots behind Rory McIlroy heading into Friday but the fiery American simply cannot shed the baggage surrounding the now notorious incident from last December's World Challenge in the Bahamas. Reed was handed a two-stroke penalty for improving his lie in the sandy waste area, which have drawn accusations this week from the four-time major winner that he cheated.
