Reed All About It

Patrick Reed got caught out by the Bear Trap last year when well positioned but he still finished T7 and is likely to go well again.

The 25-year-old is enjoying a strong start to the season and features highly in key PGA Tour statistical categories. He is in the top-20 for strokes gained tee-to-green, ball striking and the all-around ranking. His only weakness so far has been his putting, historically his strongest asset.

In three visits to PGA National, Reed has finished T58-T24-T7 and you wouldn’t be surprised to see a 1 in that sequence.

Reed finished like a train at Pebble Beach to land his fourth top-10 of the season and of those near the top of the market he rates the best bet at 22/1 (Paddy Power) with 1/5 odds for a top-7 finish.
