Say what you want about Patrick Reed. He’s heard it all before, is used to it by now and has thrived in spite of every last word. Why would now be any different?
It’s quite likely that the number eight is more important than 30 million to Patrick Reed, but given that both were in his sights on Sunday at Club de Golf Chapultepec, it’s worth mentioning each.
Justin Thomas has owned Club de Golf Chapultepec in his three appearances at the WGC-Mexico Championship, but there’s just one problem: he hasn’t won the event.
Regardless of who is on Mickelson’s bag, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him accomplish something big this week. Mickelson has two wins and two runner-ups in 18 career starts at Riviera.
