LIVE Dubai Desert Classic: Patrick Reed ties Rory McIlroy's lead with an eagle (via IrishTimesSport)
For context, earlier this week, McIlroy showed no intention to offer any olive branch nor to kiss and make up with American Patrick Reed – who allegedly threw a tee in his direction when blanked on the driving range last Monday, Reed has become something of the cartoon villain since his defection to LIV Golf with a propensity to issue lawsuits ... one of which arrived McIlroy’s way on Christmas Eve no less.
“I was subpoenaed by his lawyer on Christmas Eve. So of course, trying to have a nice time with my family and someone shows up on your doorstep and delivers that, you’re not going to take that well. I’m living in reality. I don’t know where he’s living. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t expect a hello or a handshake.”Hello and welcome to live coverage of the closing stages of the Dubai Desert Classic at the Emirates Club.
McIlroy has started the day with a grinding seven pars, lucky to avoid the water on the fourth hole and a few good up-and-downs. He’s currently on the eighth hole, where he has one of his first good birdie chances of the day after a fine iron shot.
