Patrick Reed has returned to his Houston home. He was in a hospital for about a week, where he was battling bilateral pneumonia. Moreover, Reed had withdrawn from the Wyndham Championship and the Northern Trust in consecutive weeks. Firstly, he had taken a break due to an injury to his ankle, but then soon after that, he was hospitalized for bilateral pneumonia.
Reed has had a good season this year on the PGA Tour as he had won the Farmers Insurance Open. He even had traveled to Japan as he got a late call up to represent the team U.S. at the Tokyo Olympics 2020.
