Reed Beats Spieth in Playoff at Wyndham Patrick Reed won the Wyndham Championship on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title, beating Jordan Spieth with a birdie on the second hole of a playoff. Reed recovered from a drive on the par-4 10th that nearly went out of bounds and placed his second shot 7 feet from the pin. Spieth reached the green in two strokes but his 10-foot birdie putt trickled less than an inch wide of the cup. Reed then sank his birdie putt to end it. Reed earned $954,000 money and 500 FedEx Cup points for winning the final tournament before the playoffs. Reed and Spieth finished regulation at 14-under 266. Reed closed with a 4-under 66, and Spieth had a 65. The 20-year-old Spieth, the John Deere winner in a playoff last month, was denied in his bid to become youngest two-time champion in the modern era of the PGA Tour. John Huh and Brian Harman were two strokes behind. Harman had a 66, and Huh shot 68. Matt Jones matched the tournament record for a final round with a 62 and finished at 11 under along with Matt Every (67) and Zach Johnson (68). Reed - who let a three-stroke lead on the back nine slip away - missed a chance to win it on the first playoff hole, the par-4 18th. Spieth recovered from a terrible drive and saved par with a snaking 25-foot putt. Reed pushed his 7-foot birdie putt wide of the hole, sending it to a second extra hole. Reed looked to be in control with his big back-nine lead before Spieth and Huh pulled even with him at 14 under down the stretch. At roughly the same time Reed bogeyed the par-3 16th, Spieth birdied the par-4 17th and closed with a par. Huh fell off the pace after closing with two bogeys. Reed, who led or shared the lead after the second and third rounds, also had a chance to win it in regulation after landing his approach shot on the par-4 18th in the center of the green. But he left his approximately 20-foot birdie putt short and tapped in to force the playoff. Reed built his big lead with four birdies on the front nine, including three straight. But by the end of the day, the leaderboard looked much like it did at the start - tightly bunched. Eight players began the round within two strokes of the lead. Reed compared the scenario to a Monday qualifier, and he knows plenty about those: he earned his spots in six tournaments last year by playing well in those 18-hole Monday rounds. For the second straight day, organizers tried to beat the rain by starting the round early, sending players off in threesomes from the first and 10th tees. The skies were ominously overcast all day, but the saturated course didn't receive any rain. And unlike the third round - in which only 13 players broke par - scores were significantly lower on the water-logged Sedgefield course, and that turned the final 18 holes into a shootout. Jones birdied five consecutive holes and six of seven during his best round of the year. "Every golfer out here can go and shoot that," Jones said. It's a matter if you hit the ball in the right spot and make the putts. You're on the PGA Tour, so you should be able to do it. Jones and Simpson, the 2011 winner who shot a 63, led the 52 players who shot better than even-par 70 during the final round. "You really couldn't tell that the greens got any rain," Simpson said. They were still as fast today as I've ever seen them.
