Hey, if nobody else is going to splash some America on Scottish shores, Patrick Reed might as well.
Reed and the rest of Team USA are having a brutal time at the Ryder Cup. In order to win the cup, the Americans will need to stage a historic comeback against Europe, all the while playing in front of a crowd so partisan even SEC fans would say they take it a little too far.
The crowds at Gleneagles had already gotten under Reed's skin on the first tee by asking him to dance, then booing him when he declined. On the 7th, Reed's opponent, Henrik Stenson, had made a long birdie putt and appeared ready to take a one-hole lead. The Scottish crowd erupted in delirium.
So when Reed poured in a putt atop Henrik Stenson's to halve the hole, Reed did what any good red-blooded American fan would do: he pulled a wrestling heel move, shushing the crowd. One hole later, he won the hole and took the lead in the match. U-S-A! U-S-A!
