Unfortunately for Patrick Reed, a large sect of the game believes it knows who Patrick Reed is. Short of a stunning about-face from the man, the game has largely made up its mind.
At the Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour, that meant a new driver shaft and wedge grind for Adam Scott, a putter switch for Jon Rahm and Lefty doing Lefty things. On the European Tour, Paul Casey had a new driver in the bag for his win in Dubai.
Reed has long been known as one of the tour’s top scramblers, but he put extra pressure on that part of his game this week. And boy, did that touch around the greens come in handy as he notched a ninth PGA Tour title.
Two-time Farmers Insurance champion Jason Day will make his 2021 debut at Torrey Pines with a Frankenstein bag set up and a new swing as he looks to return to the top of the PGA Tour.
