Patrick Reed has a good Masters that brings US Open into view
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Patrick Reed was so consumed with a putter that went cold during the Masters that he might not have contemplated where his third-place finish could lead.
He moved up to No. 49 in the world ranking, which at the very least assures a spot in the PGA Championship next month if he wasn’t in already. And the PGA Championship gives him another chance to accrue ranking points, something he can’t get with LIV Golf.
The PGA Championship, to be played May 15-18 at Quail Hollow, is the final week before the U.S. Open exempts the top 60 in the world. It doesn’t take much for Reed to move up because his divisor in the formula is at the minimum 40.
Reed did not make it to the U.S. Open last year, ending his streak of 41 consecutive majors.
