JERSEY CITY — It was like old times for Patrick Reed, who stood triumphant on the 18th green at Liberty National Golf Club as scattered cries of “Captain America” rang out.
Sunday was the first time since Reed’s last victory, at the 2018 Masters, that he entered the final round with the lead. Reed, who closed with a two-under 69 for a 72-hole total of 16-under 268, said of course Georgia was on his mind.
He drew on the moments at Augusta National in which he had to weather other players’ charges.
