Patrick Reed says he's a top-five player. Asked for the rest of his top-five, he lists Tiger, Adam, Phil, GMac and DJ. Maybe there's a tie.

The Golf Blog says: Patrick Reed, 23 years old, won his third tourney since August, holding off a stellar field at the WGC Cadillac Championship. He’s now the youngest to ever win a WGC event. After the win, Reed said he believed he was one of the Top 5 players in the world (he is in the Top 20 World Rankings), which caused a stir on Twitter.
“I’ve worked so hard. I’ve won a lot in my junior career. I did great in my amateur career. I went 6-0 in match play in NCAAs. We won NCAAs two years in a row (at Augusta State). I got third individually one year at NCAAs. Now, I have three wins on the PGA Tour. I just don’t see a lot of guys who’ve done that, besides Tiger and the other legends of the game. I believe in myself. I feel like I’m one of the top five players in the world. I feel like I’ve proven myself.”
