As he turned back toward the microphone to finish his answer, Ream couldn’t help but glance multiple times over at the trophy that was sitting to his right.Advertisement“We’re excited. I’m excited,” he said. “I’ve been in this program for 15 years. It’s my fourth Gold Cup. I’ve not won one yet, and as you said, […]
