Reed Wins With A Swagger at WGC – Cadillac Championship in Miami
Patrick Reed claimed his third PGA title as a one-under-par final round 71 gave him a one-stroke win in the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral, Miami. Reed shot a final round of even-par 72 to finish the $9 million tournament at four-under 284 and became the youngest winner of a World Golf Championship event. It was Reed’s third PGA Tour title in eight months. Runners up, one shot behind, were Welshman Jamie Donaldson and Bubba Watson at three under 285 and that was significant because no-one else finished the tournament under par.
“I was hitting the ball so good this week and my putting was just outstanding. Whenever you come to an event and feel very confident with your putting, a lot of pressure on your full swing comes off your shoulders. I’ve worked so hard, won a lot in junior career, did great things in amateur career and now I have three wins on the PGA Tour,” said Reed, who has now secured an invitation to play his first major at Augusta National next month.
“I just don’t see a lot of guys that have done that, besides Tiger Woods, of course, and all of the other legends of the game,” he continued, “I believe in myself – especially after how hard I’ve worked – that I’m one of the top five players in the world. To come out of a field like this and to hold on wire to wire like that, I feel like I’ve proven myself.”
