Footage has revealed the moment that Patrick Reed flicked a tee at Rory McIlroy after the world No 1 blanked the American on the driving range at the Dubai Desert Classic.
LIV rebel Reed approached McIlroy on the range at the Emirates Golf Club and saluted the four-time major winner, who offered no response. The American later fired back and labelled McIlroy as an 'immature little child' for ignoring him.
A clip of the incident has now emerged on social media and it's clear to see that McIlroy was less than impressed with Reed's approach - as he later admitted conflict had began over a subpoena he received on Christmas Eve from the American’s lawyer Larry Klayman.

After McIlroy ignores the American, Reed turns back to throw one of his tees at the world No 1
In the clip, McIlroy can be seen standing on the driving range in Dubai before kneeling down to check something in his bag.
Reed walks over and shakes the hand of McIlroy's caddie Harry Diamond before approaching the Northern Irishman. The latter remains searching in his bag.
Reed walks away and, as he does so, turns around to throw a tee in the direction of the world No 1. McIlroy was seemingly unaware that anything had occurred.
In comments that later drew a stinging response from Reed, McIlroy confirmed this, as he said: ‘I was down by my bag and he came up to me.
