Hong Kong Open: Patrick Reed looking for strong finish to disappointing year that ‘looked nice on paper’
- Patrick Reed hopes to head into the off season with an International Series victory under his belt
- The American finished sixth in the LIV Golf standings, and said he would search for some consistency over the winter
After a season that “looked nice on paper” but didn’t include any trophies, Patrick Reed said he planned to spend the off season getting his consistency back.
The American finished sixth in the LIV Golf League’s individual rankings this year, with five top-five finishes, including a second place at the London event in July.
And although Reed’s 4Aces GC won the team event, he finished the LIV year with two disappointing results in Chicago and Jeddah.
For a golfer who said he should have a chance to win every week or there would be “no reason to play”, there is at least the opportunity to end 2023 on a high, at the Hong Kong Open this week and in Indonesia next week for the final stop of the Asian Tour’s International Series.
“I feel like there’s some things I was working on with my coach that were almost there, when I was a little inconsistent there towards the end, but felt like we’re doing a lot of things well, to just build off of that kind of get the consistency,” Reed said.
“Hopefully we can finish the year off strong and then from there, you know, going into the off season, not only feeling good about the season, but also at the same time having a good foundation to build on it through the off season to be really ready to go in January.”
