Bryson DeChambeau on putting: 'I've got to rethink what's going on'
MEXICO CITY – Patrick Reed had been studying the leaderboard carefully, but he still wanted to know what happened.
“I asked [Bryson DeChambeau], ‘What happened on 18?’” Reed said following a final-round 67 and a one-stroke victory over DeChambeau Sunday at the WGC-Mexico Championship.
DeChambeau’s bogey at the par-3 17th hole, along with Reed’s birdie on the same hole, set up a two-stroke advantage for Reed going down the 18th, a cushion that Reed needed following a wayward tee shot and bogey at the last.
DeChambeau birdied four consecutive holes, starting at No. 9, to build a two-stroke lead, and he added another birdie at the 14th hole to move to 18 under before disaster struck at No. 17.
