Is it true that a large creature with 10' reach incurs a -4 penalty when fighting within 5'?

This fact was quoted to me recently but I can't locate it in the phb

No, that's not true.

A creature who takes 10x10 feet of combat space attacks at a -4 penalty (and has -4 to AC) if forced to squeeze into a 5x5 feet space

This is why teachers insist that students document their quotes on papers.
