| Patrick Reed Wins in New York by 9 strokes |
Patrick Reed picked up two victories in one day. He won The Barclays to assure himself a clear shot at the $10 million bonus in the FedEx Cup, and he easily secured a spot on his second straight U.S. Ryder Cup team.
Reed overcame an early two-shot deficit and built a big enough lead on the back nine that some nervous shots and sloppy play didn’t keep him from winning for the first time since the 2015 opener at Kapalua.
Rickie Fowler, with a surprising meltdown, walked away from the lead and lost a tentative spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup Team.
Reed had gone 55 tournaments worldwide since starting 2015 with a victory at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.
A bogey on the par-3 third hole put him two shots behind Fowler, but not for long. Reed made three birdies on the next four holes to tie for the lead, and he seized control early on the back nine.
Finishing at 9-under 275, Reed took home a $1,530,000 payday.
