AUGUSTA — Patrick Reed caught up to Rory McIlroy on Friday and didn’t even hand him a subpoena. You can still hold out hope for the weekend, especially if you are the kind of romantic, old-school sports fan who gets weepy at the thought of billable hours. But I’m afraid we are looking at a lawsuit-free tournament, and with the debut of Masters.com’s Every Blade Of Grass Cam, we probably won’t see any cheating allegations, either.
We won’t even see them play together on Saturday. Reed bogeyed the 18th hole to fall back to 6 under par, tied with Sam Burns for second place. McIlroy leads the field at 12 under after birdieing six of the last seven holes Friday. Reed will be in the group in front of McIlroy and Burns.
