But Tiger Woods and Ernie Els were at odds over the behaviour of boisterous crowds, which will create a super-charged atmosphere for the final day of the PresidentsCup as the hosts plot one of the biggest upsets in team golf history.
Reed was searching for a new caddie on Saturday night after the USPGA Tour dismissed his brother-in-law Kessler Karain, who was accused of shoving a fan who had shouted an obscenity at Reed after his four-ball loss yesterday morning.
He lavished praise on the way Woods has handled crowd abuse throughout his career, but took a swipe at the Americans after they waged a fightback in the afternoon’s foursomes session. Police say they arrested a man in his 30s from NSW in the early afternoon on Saturday for being drunk. Woods sat himself out of both the fourball and foursomes sessions on Saturday as his decision to use a captain’s pick on Reed continues to backfire. The former US Masters champion is 0-3 and was benched from the fourth session. On his caddie being banned, Reed said in a statement: “I respect the Tour’s decision. We are all focused on winning the Presidents Cup [on Sunday].”
The International side managed to scratch just one point with two ties in the foursomes when they appeared destined for a wipeout after earlier extending their lead to four points in the morning fourball.
