Reed wants another trophy for daughter

Daddy’s SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — little girl is waiting. Patrick Reed would like to deliver her a nice present

on Father’s Day, no less. —

“The biggest thing is try to get trophies,” Reed said Tuesday ahead of the U.S. Open. “I keep on promising my daughter that I’m going to bring her home a trophy every time I leave the house.”

The last one Reed presented 4-year-old Windsor-Wells was from the Masters. That was only two months ago, his first major victory. Reed finished at 15 under par at Augusta National to beat Rickie Fowler by a stroke and Jordan Spieth by two.

“To be able to come to the U.S. Open, especially after winning the last major, definitely gives me a little more confidence and gives me that self-belief as well as a comfort level that whatever comes down Sunday, if we have a chance to win the golf tournament, I’ve done it before,” Reed said.

Before this year, Reed’s best major finish was a tie for 12th in the 2016 British Open. He closed out last year’s U.S. Open tied for 13th.

The 27-year-old Texan has won six events on the PGA Tour since turning pro in 2011. His name has been out there, only now it’s highlighted, underlined and bolded.

“The feeling you get walking up 18 and making the putt on the last hole to win a major is unbelievable,” Reed said. “It’s a feeling you want to get back to.”

Another thing he wants to get back to is those gifts for his daughter.

“Daddy needs to get on track,” Reed said, “and bring her home more trophies.”
