Patrick Reed tunes out critics, comes from behind to win WGC-Mexico

Patrick Reed’s late birdies helped him overtake Bryson DeChambeau late in the final round at the WGC-Mexico Championship.

MEXICO CITY – A week that began with more biting criticism about his escapade in the sand in the Bahamas last December ended with an emphatic response from Patrick Reed.

Reed blocked out all the noise, deflected the condemnations and then stormed from behind on the back nine Sunday to win the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship at Club de Golf Chapultepec.
En route to his second WGC title and eighth PGA Tour victory, the 2018 Masters champion shot rounds of 69-63-67-67 to finish at 18 under and one shot clear of Bryson DeChambeau.

World No. 3 Jon Rahm fell short of his bid to become No. 1 but finished third at 15 under alongside Erik van Rooyen, who celebrated his 30th birthday earlier this week. World No. 1 Rory McIlroy shot 68 to finish at 14 under and in fifth.

Overnight leader and world No. 4 Justin Thomas had a miserable final round, closing with a 73 to finish in a three-way tie for sixth with Hideki Matsuyama and Tyrrell Hatton.

Trailing by two with seven holes to play, Reed closed with birdies on 12, 15, 16 and 17 for the win. It was the perfect reply Reed was working toward considering the ongoing chatter about his conscience and his replies to claims of cheating.

From Maui to Melbourne and a few parts in between, Reed has been roundly criticized for his incident in a waste bunker during the Hero World Challenge, where he improved his lie with two short practice swings and was penalized two strokes. Accusations of cheating soon followed.

This week Brooks Koepka said he wondered if Reed “was building sand castles” in the bunker. Former CBS broadcaster Peter Kostis said he saw multiple instances of cheating by Reed over the years. During this week’s tournament, as well as in the Presidents Cup in Australia and the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, a few hecklers voiced their opinions.

Reed, 29, has just blocked out the uproar emanating from Bunkergate by plugging in his headphones, putting his nose to the grindstone and taking care of business.

“The biggest thing for me is any time you go to the golf course, pop in my headphones, get to work, and just really get in tune with every golf shot I hit because at the end of the day, you can’t listen to what other people are saying. All you can control is what you do,” Reed said this week.

“For me, I just go out there and try to play the best golf I can, try to improve on and off the golf course each and every day, and if I feel like I’m doing that, then I’m living the right way and I’m working as hard as I need to be working.”

 

With Masters debut approaching, Erik van Rooyen finds his groove at WGC-Mexico Championship

With his Masters debut approaching, Erik van Rooyen has found his groove at the WGC-Mexico Championship.

Erik van Rooyen picked the perfect time to find his A-game.

After tying the course record on Friday with a 62 (Jon Rahm would break the record with a 61 on Saturday), the 30-year-old finds himself in contention at this week’s WGC-Mexico Championship with a busy schedule ahead.

In 46 days the eyes of the golf world will be on Augusta National for the Masters, where van Rooyen will compete for the first time. He qualified for the Masters by finishing inside the top 50 of the final OWGR last year.

As a freshman in college in 2009 at the University of Minnesota, the Golden Gophers played in Augusta State’s tournament, held the weekend before the Masters. Van Rooyen and his Minnesota teammates got tickets to Monday’s practice round.

“I remember Tiger was warming up with Fred Couples, Trevor Immelman was on the range, and I guess you go see some iconic holes, No. 1, walked a few holes, and then went to Amen Corner,” recalled van Rooyen after Friday’s round in Mexico City. “Thirteen is a much bigger dogleg than what it seems on TV, and then we just kind of spent some time there, bought a little bit of merchandise, as everybody does, and yeah, just kind of tried to soak it in.”

Looking back, van Rooyen has fond memories of his first trip to Augusta National. As an untested freshman, the South African knew his game was far from Masters-quality, but he knew he would one day get his chance.

“I always thought I’d play it, but until you do it, you don’t really know,” said van Rooyen.

“I’m probably looking forward to the first tee shot on Thursday with all the people there. That’s what you dream of, right?”

While his dream is soon to become a reality, van Rooyen has some work to do before driving down Magnolia Lane.

“I’d love to get into the Players. I’m currently just outside the top 50,” he said. “I’m playing Honda next week, hopefully Players, and then Match Play and then Augusta, which I’ve never been to before.”

After missing the cut at last week’s Genesis Invitational, the 30-year-old said he’s learned a lot about his game this week at a tournament featuring a field of the world’s best.

“I think at a tournament like this and a field like this, if you can play well, you can play well anywhere,” said van Rooyen. “So if I continue the way I’m going, it’ll be a big confidence booster.”

Chez Reavie, Jon Rahm make holes-in-one Saturday at WGC-Mexico Championship

Chez Reavie and Jon Rahm both made holes-in-one Saturday during the third round at the WGC-Mexico Championship.

Putting is overrated.

It’s Moving Day at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship, and what better way is there to shoot up the leaderboard than with a hole-in-one?

During Saturday’s third round at Mexico City’s Club de Golf Chapultepec, both Chez Reavie and Jon Rahm, former Arizona State Sun Devils, made holes-in-one within minutes of each other.

Reavie was first, acing the 167-yard par 3 third hole. It was Reavie’s fifth hole-in-one made on the PGA Tour and his second in the last two months. The two-time winner on Tour aced the eighth hole during the final round of the QBE Shootout in December.

Rahm was next, one-hopping his ball into the bottom of the cup off the tee at the 158-yard par 3 17th. But why talk about it when we can just show you?

Rahm walked off the course T-5 at 11 under with the leaders still playing. Reavie is 2 under, T-29.

Patrick Reed addresses outside noise, tries to ‘improve every day on and off the golf course’

Patrick Reed addressed his ability to block out the outside noise as he contends at the WGC-Mexico Championship.

[jwplayer fvAWbWmF-9JtFt04J]

The last few months have been anything but easy for Patrick Reed.

The fallout from a two-stroke penalty for a pair of practice swings taken in a waste bunker at December’s Hero World Challenge has brought on heckling fans, an incident with his caddie and fan at the Presidents Cup and even a cease and desist sent from his attorney to Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee.

In five events since the Hero, Reed has two missed cuts at the Sony Open as well as the Saudi International. He also has top-10 finishes with a T-2 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions and T-6 at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Despite more criticism from Brooks Koepka and claims of cheating by former CBS analyst Peter Kostis earlier this week, Reed brushed it all off and is working on another strong finish, this time at the WGC-Mexico Championship. After 36 holes, Reed is T-2 with Erik van Rooyen at 10 under, one shot behind leader Bryson DeChambeau.

“I think the biggest thing for me is I just work so hard at it,” Reed said in a TV interview after his round on his ability to compartmentalize and block out the noise from outside the ropes. “My team and I work really hard, and I’m not going to lie, just the whole thing on the outside distracts us from our ultimate goal, and that’s to go out and play great golf and continue to try to improve every day on and off the golf course.”

“As long as you’re doing that, then you’re living the right way,” added Reed. “So at the end of the day, you can’t please everybody, and I feel like I’m doing everything I need to be doing to continue to strive in the game of golf hopefully on and off the golf course.”

Watch: A Sungjae Im tee shot hops out of the water and onto the green

Sungjae Im made one of the wildest pars you’ll ever see at the WGC-Mexico Championship on Friday.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you one of the wildest pars you will ever see made on the PGA Tour.

If you look at the shot tracker on the Tour’s leaderboard for the WGC-Mexico Championship, you’ll see on the par-3 7th at Club de Golf Chapultepec that Sungjae Im’s tee shot found the center of the green.

Just not on the fly.

Im’s tee shot on the 223-yard par 3 came up just short of the dance floor and landed in the water. The ball then jumped back into the air and landed on the green, 23 feet from the pin with a birdie putt awaiting.

Im left the birdie putt short but tapped in for the splash-and-save par. The 2019 PGA Tour Player of the Year avoided a crucial dropped shot and walked off the green at 3-under, sitting tied for ninth.
