Patrick Reed has laid into USA captain Jim Furyk and Jordan Spieth after their Ryder Cup defeat in Paris.

Reed endured a difficult time at Le Golf National, losing in both fourballs alongside Tiger Woods, while sitting out both foursomes.

Reed was benched for Friday's afternoon session which swung the tie decisively in Team Europe's favour, as they took all four points available in the session.

He was left out on the Saturday afternoon too, and there was likely a hint of frustration enveloped in his self-mocking celebration after winning his dead-rubber of a singles clash against Tyrrell Hatton on Sunday, when putting his finger to his lips.

If that wasn't clear on the green then he made it crystal off the course.

'For somebody as successful in the Ryder Cup as I am I don't think it's smart to sit me twice,' he said of Furyk's decision to leave him out of the foursomes, according to the New York Times.

It was a different story at Hazeltine in 2016, where Reed, paired with Spieth, won two-and-half points for the USA.

However, they were kept apart by Furyk this time around, and Reed blasted the 25-year-old three-time major winner for putting himself ahead of the team.

'Every day I saw, "Leave your egos at the door". They [Europe] do that better than us,' said Reed.

'The issue's obviously Jordan not wanting to play with me.

'I don't have any issue with Jordan. When it comes right down to it I don't care if I like the person I'm paired with or if the person likes me as long as it works.

'He and I know how to make each other better. We know how to get the job done.'
