GOLF Reed rallies to win Kapalua in a playoff Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 12, 2015 @ 8:45 pm Updated Jan 12, 2015 at 8:46 PM By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 12, 2015 @ 8:45 pm Updated Jan 12, 2015 at 8:46 PM » Social News KAPALUA, Hawaii — Patrick Reed never thought he had a serious chance to win at Kapalua until he stood over an 18-foot birdie putt in a playoff Monday. Like so many other times in his young career, he didn't waste it. Four shots behind with four holes to play, Reed made two birdies, holed an 80-yard shot for eagle and got just enough help from Jimmy Walker to win the Hyundai Tournament of Champions for his fourth career PGA Tour victory. "I thought my chances were slim," Reed said. "So I was just thinking to myself, 'Let's try to birdie three of the last four and get ourselves a chance to secure second alone, and give ourselves a chance — just maybe." A two-putt birdie on the par-5 15th. The wedge he holed on the 16th for eagle. And after a three-putt from 100 feet just off the green at 17 slowed his momentum, Reed two-putted for birdie from 80 feet on the par-5 18th for a 6-under 67. Then it was up to Walker, who appeared to have control until he tried to play it safe off the tee on the short par-4 14th and found a bunker, leading to his first bogey in 33 holes at Kapalua. Walker twice missed birdie putts inside 10 feet, and he missed an 18-foot birdie putt for the win in regulation. He closed with a 69 to join Reed at 21-under 271. In the playoff, Walker's chip went over the green, and he had a 6-foot par putt that he never had to hit when Reed made his winning putt. "It was there for me to win," Walker said. "It was a bummer I didn't close the door on it." The 24-year-old Reed joined some elite company as the fifth player in the last 25 years to win at least four times on the PGA Tour before turning 25. The others were Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. "Everyone is trying to get to the best in the world," Reed said. "But that's going to take a long time. It's nothing that happens overnight." The trick is to win, and Reed already has shown he has that knack with his fourth win in his last 35 starts on the PGA Tour. But it was his first victory since the World Golf Championship at Doral, where he caused a stir by saying he was among the top five players in the world. This moved him to a career-best No. 14, though he was more interested in what he could do get better. Jason Day became the second player on Monday to tie the Plantation Course record with a 62 — Chris Kirk shot 62 earlier in the day as the first player out. Day posted at 20-under 272, though that score never looked as though it would be enough. Russell Henley closed with five straight birdies for a 67 to join Day at 272. They were joined by Hideki Matsuyama, tied with Walker at the start of the final round. The 22-year-old from Japan also felt as though he lost a good opportunity to win. He missed birdie chances on the last four holes and missed them all to shoot 70.
