The 2018 Masters champion, who left LIV Golf this year and has refound serious form since, finished Friday six-under par, good for second on the leaderboard heading into the weekend.
Despite that, he remains some way off the leading pace, as Rory McIlroy put distance between himself and the field thanks to an explosion on the second nine. The reigning champion put one arm through the sleeve of the Green Jacket with a round of 65, giving himself a six shot lead. Reed, on the other hand, shot a 69, and felt he left a better score on the table.

That really frustrated the American, who said he hit every shot on that hole as he intended. The 35-year-old said, “The worst part and the thing that frustrated me most is I hit every golf shot how I wanted to.
On 18 you’re having to get up and down, and then hit the putt where I wanted to and just doesn’t go in. “Things like that happen around here. In golf in general.
