Can Patrick Reed reintroduce himself at this Masters?

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Patrick Reed made the long walk up Augusta National’s eighth hole, a par-5 so steep that, from the green, approach shots arrive far before any player. In Thursday’s first round of the Masters, three shots dropped in succession. One bounded around the mounding on the right side of the green. Another fell out of view, well short. The third came screaming down the center of the fairway, landed with gas, and scooted onto the green, settling 56 feet from the hole.The crowd around the eighth green clapped, then waited.Advertisement
