Throw Out the Script: Patrick Reed Wins a Green Jacket and Other Masters Surprises

Throw out the script. The Masters creates its own drama and unexpected story lines.

Rory McIlroy was supposed to finally get that green jacket slipped over his shoulders and complete the career Grand Slam after boldly playing his way into the final pairing on Sunday. Instead, Rory hit perhaps the worst drive of his professional career on the first hole. It wasn’t a blip. More like an omen.

Patrick Reed was the 36- and 54-hole leader after posting three splendid rounds in the 60s at Augusta National Golf Club. However, it was his first time leading a major on Sunday.
