Texan Patrick Reed is vying for his first win in his home state.

The San Antonio, Texas native, gets to tee it up about four hours from his home this week in Fort Worth.

Patrick Reed is teeing it up in the Charles Schwab Challenge for the fourth time. He hasn’t missed a cut and keeps finishing higher on the leaderboard: T-46 in 2013 (70-69-67-73), T-33 in 2015 (70-69-68-69) and T-15 in 2016 (65-69-69-71).

In summary, that’s eight rounds under par and 10 of par or betterout of 12.

Reed has won a major, two World Golf Championships and a FedEx Cup Playoff event, as well as had Ryder Cup success. Another feather he’d like to add to his cap is winning in Texas.

The closest he came was second at the 2018 Texas Open.

Reed was playing well before the PGA Tour’s hiatus.

In 2019-2020, Reed finished T-2 at the Tournament of Champions, T-6 at Torrey Pines and won the WGC-Mexico.

The 29-year-old is putting incredibly well at third in strokes gained (1.093). He’s spraying the ball off the tee, but his ability to recover is elite.

Despite some middling proximity numbers, Reed is still 38th in SG approach (.434) as well as 38th in SG around the green (.281).

In short, he just has a way of getting the ball in the hole (even if that involves a little shoveling).

A competitive guy like Reed has to be chomping at the bit to get back in action. If he can use his excitement to his advantage, he’ll post his best career finish at Colonial.
