Reed asks US fans not to punish Willett while Phil apologizes
Patrick Reed asked US Ryder Cup supporters Thursday not to punish Europe's Danny Willett for insults made by his brother while Phil Mickelson apologized for igniting a captaincy controversy. The 41st biennial men's team golf showdown between Europe and the Americans starts Friday at Hazeltine with US players trying to snap a record three-Cup losing streak. Willett, the reigning Masters champion from England and one of six Ryder Cup newcomers on Europe's squad, apologized Wednesday for comments by his brother Pete on a European golf website insulting American golf fans.
