Reed warns players will be exposed at Asia Tour | Golf News

Patrick Reed and Dustin Johnson are among many of the LIV Golf stars that can be discovered at the International Series Philippines, but Reed says the course is a powerful play. Both have been extremely busy, as they performed at Dunhill Links and Reed just took half in the Spanish Open. 

Reed had a notable season on the LIV this yr, as he got here out victorious in Dallas and his LIV workforce, the Crushers GC, took home the trophy. Reed also completed seventh in the person standings and tied for third at the BMW Championship, which featured a gifted subject of European Ryder Cup stars, including Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland.

He hopes to show up with high spirits in the Phillipines, and appears to know the ropes around Sta. Elena Golf & Country Club, which he thinks will expose some of the players in the sphere. The golf membership, situated in Manila, forces players to have glorious placement and precision, very like the DP World Tour India Championship. Reed had a few issues to say about versatility and shot shaping for players heading to Sta. Elena.

“I think the unique thing about this golf course is that you have to hit it both ways. You can’t set up and just hit a draw or a fade off every hole. You have to work the ball in both directions

“You have to be smart on a lot of the holes. Some holes out there, especially 16, it’s just hard to get driver far enough left, so guess will be hitting less than driver off the tee and the second shot becomes a lot more difficult,” said the 2018 Masters champion. 

Reed then provides that anybody utilizing a driver goes to battle at Sta. Elena.

“Then guys who take driver are going to bring in trouble, trying to bring a short iron in. There is a lot of risk/reward so you have to be really comfortable with your golf game around here. It will expose any weakness you have, anything from iron play, to tee shots to short game.

“Because even with how soft the fairways are, the greens don’t spin. They make ball marks, they appear they are going to be soft, it’s just the ball doesn’t grab so you are going to have to have really good course management to leave the ball in the right spots and I feel like it’s unique, especially when it’s soft like this,” said Reed. 

DON’T MISS

Trees current a large problem for golfers, and Sta. Elena is understood for its beautiful setting with natural trees, lakes, and mountain views in the Philippines.

“You think you can throw darts but it doesn’t seem like it’s doing that these past two days,” said Reed.
