Hero World Challenge 2019: Patrick Reed Tied for Lead at 6 Under After 1st Round

Gary Woodland and Patrick Reed each fired a six-under 66 to grab a share of the lead after Wednesday's first round of the 2019 Hero World Challenge at the Albany Golf Course in New Providence, Bahamas.

Woodland and Reed hold a two-shot advantage over Chez Reavie (-4) in the exclusive 18-player tournament hosted by Tiger Woods. There's a four-way tie for fourth at three under between Justin Rose, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Henrik Stenson.

This year's event is also serving as the final tune-up for several American players before the 2019 Presidents Cup, which takes place next week in Australia.
