DETROIT – The putts finally started dropping for Patrick Reed at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Reed breezed past an ultra-low cut line with a pair of 68s to start the week at Detroit Golf Club, but that still left the former Masters champ well off the pace. While the birdies were falling, he nearly had to get within arm’s reach of the hole to convert opportunities on the greens, ranking near the bottom of the field in strokes gained: putting.
Reed’s putting woes were so bad that he made an early-week detour to a local Club Champion store to double check that the specs on his putter were still correct.
