Patrick Reed came through in the clutch, firing three late birdies in a four-under par 67 for a one-shot victory over Bryson DeChambeau in the WGC Mexico Championship on Sunday.
Former Masters champion Reed stayed patient through a frustrating front nine at Chapultepec Golf Club, and as a string of leaders fell away powered to the victory with an 18-under par total of 266.
Birdies at the 15th, 16th and 17th pushed him to 19-under for the tournament, giving him a two-stroke lead.
The cushion proved enough after he pushed his tee shot at 18 well right but limited the damage to a bogey for the narrow win.
“It’s very rewarding,” said Reed, whose only other WGC title came in the same event in 2014, when it was played at Doral in Florida.
