Reed, Cantlay lead

MASTERS champion Patrick Reed and Patrick Cantlay made the most of benign conditions, yesterday firing seven-under 65s to hold a three-stroke advantage at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Reed produced eight birdies and just one bogey to join Cantlay, who opened his first appearance in the $3 million event hosted by Tiger Woods with a flawless seven-birdie display on the Albany course. Tournament host Woods, who had battled illness, was one-overpar 73, sharing 16th place. “It’s been a long week,” the 14-time major winner said.
