SAN DIEGO -- Patrick Reed was so unaffected by a rules controversy a day earlier that he won the Farmers Insurance Open by five shots, the biggest margin in his nine career PGA Tour victories.
Reed closed with a 4-under 68 at Torrey Pines, making an eagle on the par-5 sixth and finishing off his dominating Sunday with a birdie on the 18th.
The former Masters champion finished at 14 under after a consistent four days at the bluff-top municipal courses overlooking the Pacific Ocean. He shared the first-round lead with Alexander Noren, was in a group one shot off the lead in the second round and then shared the third-round lead with Carlos Ortiz.
