Intro:

The American Ryder Cup rookie Patrick Reed spoke about his week during a news conference in Gleneagles on Thursday (25th September).

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Patrick Reed:

"We got here Monday and, it's about the same amount of time that it takes in normal events I play, but leading up to the Ryder Cup and everything it just seems like.... Monday through today has been such a long, process, just waiting and waiting to get out there and play, represent your country, so, I'm excited, can't wait and can't wait for tomorrow."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Patrick Reed (on Ian Poulter):

"He knows a lot of fun, he was really, down to Earth, easy to play with, and I just felt like if I spent some more time with him, get a couple more laughs and see some more good golf."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Patrick Reed:

"Medinah's the past. I wasn't there during it and the guys that were there, they seem fine and they're playing great, which is always nice to see and also I love being the, the underdog and kind of, the team that's not really expected to win. I mean Augusta State (where Reed went to college), did you expect us to win two in a row? So I mean, we still did it and I mean any guys on our team can, can play well and if they get it going can make a lot of birdies and I feel like that's great in match play."
