Patrick Reed announced his presence on the PGA Tour a few years ago, when he called himself a top-five player in an infamous 2014 interview.

He backed up that claim on Sunday, when he won The Barclays at the famed Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York.

The Ryder Cup will be played at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, from Sept. 30 through Oct. 2.
