American golfer Patrick Reed claims that there have been "assassination on both sides" during the 'tee-gate' saga and jokingly flicked a tee at reporters during his opening round in Dubai today.
The row started when Rory McIlroy was practicing ahead of this week's DP World Tour event when LIV Golf rebel Reed approached him to say hello. However, when the Northern Irishman failed to acknowledge him Reed stormed away and threw a tee in McIlroy's direction.
Four-time major winner McIlroy revealed that the reason he ignored Reed was that he had received a subpoena from the American's lawyer on Christmas Eve ordering him to give evidence in Reed's lawsuits against Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee.
