DOHA, Qatar — Patrick Reed capped off his remarkable month in the Middle East by winning the Qatar Masters on Sunday, his second European tour victory in three weeks that all but assures the former Masters champion will have a full PGA Tour card in 2027.
Reed closed with a 2-under 70, turning back an early threat from Jacob Skov Olesen and a late charge by Calum Hill for a two-shot victory at Doha Golf Club.
In the past three weeks, Reed has won the Dubai Desert Classic, lost in a playoff in Bahrain and won in Qatar, finishing at 16-under 272. No one has posted a lower 72-hole score in three straight European tour events. He will move into the top 20 in the world ranking for the first time since 2021.
«This little run I’ve had, two wins and a second, it’s awesome. We couldn’t ask anything more than what we did,» Reed said. «It’s special, especially to get two wins early on in the season, and hopefully there’s a lot more to come.»
Collin Morikawa in 2021 is the only American to finish at No. 1 on the European tour.
The European tour is off next week before beginning a three-week stretch in Africa. It was not clear when Reed would play next. His world ranking assures him a spot in all four majors, though the European tour schedule is not ideal for travel leading to the U.S. majors.
