Unleashing Patrick Reed: A Case for Major Invites in Golf Tournaments
**Lakers’ Reaves Fails to Qualify for Golf Event**
Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves fell short of qualifying for the American Century Championship golf tournament despite an impressive effort on Tuesday. Reaves carded a 75 in the qualifier at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, missing the cut by three strokes.
The event, which features a field of celebrities and professional golfers, required a score of 72 or better to advance. Reaves, who is an avid golfer, played alongside Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry and former NBA All-Star Baron Davis.
Despite the setback, Reaves expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and said he would continue to work on his golf game. “I enjoyed the experience and learned a lot,” Reaves said. “I’ll keep practicing and hopefully have a better chance to qualify next year.”
