Peter Kostis opens up on seeing Patrick Reed improve his lie repeatedly — For The Win

Dear Patrick,

#1 play better

#2 Don’t blame the captain for your own sloppy play

#3 Don’t bash your team (teammates and captains) following a loss or win, especially when you were clearly the worse player on both sides

#4 Learn what the word team means

#5 Take this experience and learn by example (The European example), you don’t see them bashing one another, win or lose.

This is why the US fails to win the Ryder Cup in Europe; they don’t play as a team, and it only takes one to screw it up.  Attitude and egos get in their way.   While Europe is interested in one thing, winning together.
