Rory McIlroy has insisted that ignoring Patrick Reed on a Dubai driving range was perfectly legal, following reports that the American had thrown a golf tee at the world No. 1 in disgust. Reed served McIlroy with court papers on Christmas Eve at his Florida home, according to McIlroy.
Reed approached McIlroy on Monday at the Dubai Desert Classic, but the Northern Irishman ignored him. McIlroy was unaware of any subsequent object-throwing but used his pre-tournament press conference to explain his position on Reed.
