Reed tames Black Course at Barclays

- By Doug ferguson

fARMINGDAL­E, N.Y. >> Patrick Reed picked up two victories in one day. He won The Barclays to assure himself a clear shot at the $10 million bonus in the FedEx Cup, and he easily secured a spot on his second straight U.S. Ryder Cup team.

Rickie Fowler, with a surprising meltdown, walked away empty from Bethpage Black.

Reed overcame an early two-shot deficit and built a big enough lead on the back nine that some nervous shots and sloppy play didn’t keep him from winning for the first time since the 2015 opener at Kapalua. A bogey on the final hole gave him a 1-under 70 and a one-shot victory over Sean O’Hair and Emiliano Grillo.

Fowler still hasn’t won in four tries as a 54-hole leader on the PGA Tour, and this one might sting. CANADIAN PACIfIC WOMEN’S OPEN >> Ariya Jutanugarn ran away with the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open at chilly Priddis Greens for her LPGA Tour-leading fifth victory of the year — all in the last 10 events.

Nine days after withdrawin­g from the Rio Olympics because of a left knee injury, the 20-year-old Thai player made a 12-birdie putt on the final hole for a 6-under 66 and a four-stroke victory. BOEING CLASSIC >> Bernhard Langer made a 3-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff with Woody Austin and Kevin Sutherland to win the PGA Tour Champions’ Boeing Classic for the second time.
