Patrick Reed

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Torrey Pines has had its share of conflict over the years involving some of the top players in golf. Just not during such a taxing major as the U.S. Open.

The last time Patrick Reed teed it up at Torrey Pines, he had to dodge yet another rules controversy before hoisting the trophy at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Now he’s got an Open of a different magnitude in front of him.
