Wells Fargo Championship: Top 10 power rankings at Quail Hollow
Before winning the 2018 Masters, Patrick Reed first proved he could contend in a major when he finished T2 at the 2017 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
Reed fired 69-73-69-67 to finish two back of Justin Thomas, who is absent this week due to injury. It was a master class in scrambling on Sunday as he scraped it around in 4-under par while hitting just five greens.
“Yeah, I feel good. Anytime you can come back to Charlotte and Quail Hollow and come play, it’s always awesome,” Reed said in 2018. “Weather’s always usually really good, the golf courses are normally in perfect shape and it’s just one of those events you look forward to every year to come out, play some good golf and hopefully have a chance to come down late Sunday.”
Reed followed it up by taking solo eighth in 2018 and now sits 6-for-6 in cuts made at this course.
The fiery Texan is looking to regain his old form and still seeks his first individual top-10 of 2019. He’s still got six top-25s and isn’t far off, but he’s yet to put 72 holes together.
Reed does enter with a T7 last week at the Zurich Classic where he teamed with Patrick Cantlay.
Reed is 30th on Tour in strokes gained putting and 46th in SG around the green.
