Love lauds Reed as true master of the grind

Davis Love was not immediately impressed by Patrick Reed's game when he first saw the American play, but learned over time that the newly crowned Masters champion had the necessary ingredients for success, the 2016 US Ryder Cup captain said on Tuesday.

Two days after Reed's gritty victory at Augusta National, a result that not too many casual fans saw coming, Love offered his perspective of the most recent member of the exclusive green jacket club.

He said that Reed's game "kind of sneaks up on you a little bit", meaning it did not necessarily make an instant impact.
