LIV Golf rebel Patrick Reed has pulled out of this week's DP World Tour event at St Andrews after suffering a strange injury incurred in his hotel room last week.
The 32-year-old claims the mattress on his Mersailles hotel bed was "too soft" causing pain in his back. Reed's discomfort was apparent on the golf course at the Cazoo French Open missing the halfway cut after rounds of 73 and 72 to finish on three over par.
He has withdrawn from the Alfred Dunhill Links which starts on Thursday. A good field is set to compete on the Old Course including Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, Billy Horschel and Shane Lowry amongst others, but Reed will not be in attendance.
