Patrick Reed Closes in on 2nd Win of the Year. He Builds 2-Shot Lead in Qatar

Reed's regained confidence after a career-changing Middle East month puts him at 14-under, two shots clear, seeking second European Tour win this season.

  • On Saturday, Patrick Reed holds a two-stroke lead at the Qatar Masters at 14-under 202 after a 2-under 70 at Doha Golf Club.
  • Amid a fourth straight week in the Middle East, Reed won the Dubai Desert Classic last month and recently left LIV Golf, building momentum.
  • Patrick Reed kept a clean card with 16 pars and two birdies, including a 20-foot putt on the second hole and an up-and-down on the par-5 10th, then made a three-putt par from 95 feet on the closing hole.
  • A win would put Reed atop the Race to Dubai, into the top 20 in the world, and virtually lock up a PGA Tour card for 2027, with the PGA Tour saying he could return as early as September.
  • Showing confidence after the third round, Reed said the game feels good and he must keep the foot on the gas for the final round, noting he hit the ball better than in prior rounds.
