MAMARONECK, N.Y. _ Patrick Reed probably shot himself out of contention with a back nine 43 that left him 7-over for the day and tied for 11th place. He goes into Sunday eight shots out after having a three-shot lead through three holes of his third round.
"Anyone in my position would be frustrated, especially with having the lead going into today," he said.
Still, he was able to muster a bit of gallows humor.
"I got all my bad shots out of the way," he said. "It was just one of those days. I couldn't find a fairway, and from there trying to guess out of the rough all day, it was just hard. It was brutal."
Reed lamented that when he did hit a quality shot, "it still ended up in a spot on the green that I had to be really defensive, couldn't actually be aggressive with putting."
