Wow - with the exception of Spieth as a least favorite this could be my more complete list.

I’m surprised at the amount of love for Reed - I thought I was the only one who liked him- apparently not - a Floyd/Reed comparison (as players not as people) is a good one IMO - of course Reed has a way to go but similar on course temperaments.

I like him as well. People tend to focus a lot on his personal life - it's a good thing we aren't required to put details about our personal life in our resumes.
