And for you football fans out there, the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks will play in the Super Bowl on February 2.
Well, it wasn't as easy as Patrick Reed had hoped... However it changed into nevertheless pleasurable, as you may see from the picture.
After his third round of 63 (on three separate courses, no less), Patrick had informed the media that he planned to attack the final round in the equal manner -- as though he turned into playing but another Monday qualifier and anybody changed into looking to move low. However, after Sunday's spherical he said he had changed his thoughts before the spherical and decided to play a piece more secure.
In retrospect, that changed into probable a horrific pass. By the time he reached the 15th, he was still even on the day whilst his pursuers had been... Well, pursuing. Every birdie turned into offset with a bogey -- after making only 2 bogeys within the first 3 rounds, he made four within the final round. His 7-stroke lead had diminished to a trifling 2 strokes and the sharks smelled blood. In truth, Zach Johnson shot the sixty two Patrick have been looking to shoot all week!
But a birdie on the fifteenth lower back him to a three-stroke lead and, as he said later on, he became type of on cruise manipulate after that.
Patrick's win made him best the 0.33 "under-23" participant to have a couple of wins, with Rory McIlroy (6) and Harris English (2) being the best others. That's heady company to be in... And possibly he can thank his brother-in-regulation, his new caddie even as his spouse Justine takes day without work the bag to have their first child, for that little piece of history. And Patrick now cracks the OWGR Top50, which qualifies him for the Accenture Match Play.
