His only bogey was on the par-3 eighth, and he rebounded with a birdie on the par-5 ninth. He played par the rest of the way until sinking an 8-foot birdie putt on No. 18. Tony Finau, Xander Schauffele, Ryan Palmer, Henrik Norlander and Viktor Hovland tied for second. Reed moved up 55 spots in the FedExCup standings to No. 10 Hovland had been the closest in pursuit with four birdies on the front nine, including on the ninth to get to 12 under.

He hurt himself with three bogeys on the front nine that left him even at the turn.
