Northern Trust 2019: Patrick Reed Earns Win; Rises Up FedEx Cup Standings

Patrick Reed shot a 69 in the final round of The Northern Trust to secure his first win of the year.

The American finished 16 strokes under par for the tournament, one stroke ahead of Abraham Ancer in second place.

Reed entered Sunday at Liberty National Golf Club with a one-stroke lead and finished things off in style with a strong round that featured five birdies.

As the first of three events leading to the FedEx Cup title, the win also provides a huge boost of 2,000 points to put Reed into second place in the updated standings.
