It has been nearly four years since Patrick Reed was in victory lane, but he got across the finish line Sunday in Hong Kong.
Reed won the Asian Tour’s Hong Kong Open for his first professional victory since the 2021 Farmers Insurance Open. On Saturday, he shot a 59 (with preferred lies) to vault him into the lead, and Sunday, he brought it home with a 4-under 66 to finish at 22 under for the week.
He won by three shots over defending champion Ben Campbell.
“Kind of going out there and forgetting about the 59 and going out, even though I had a three-shot lead, to try to expand on that,’ Reed said. “And the goal was to go out there and make a couple birdies early quickly, get up on top, so then on the back nine I could just kind of hit fairways and middle of the greens.”
Reed hasn’t won in 33 events since joining LIV Golf, though he has a pair of runner-up finishes. He earned $360,000 from the $2 million purse for the victory.
The 2018 Masters champion plans to play in the Asian Tour’s next two events, which are the final two on the 2024 schedule for the tour.
