Reed rallies, wins Barclays by 1 stroke as Fowler stumbles.

-

FARMINGDAL­E, N.Y. - Patrick Reed had a crystal trophy, a clear shot at the richest payoff in golf and a spot on the Ryder Cup team.

All he could offer Rickie Fowler was best wishes to join him at Hazeltine.

Reed got two victories Sunday at The Barclays. He rallied from an early twoshot deficit to win the FedEx Cup playoff opener and assure himself a clear shot at the $10 million bonus. And he earned a spot on the U.S. team at Hazeltine that will try to win back the Ryder Cup.

“Everyone’s been talking about the Ryder Cup, been talking about, ‘Oh, you’re in the eighth spot and you’re on the bubble’ and all that,” Reed said after his one-shot victory. “If you go and win, it takes care of everything else. … It takes care of everything.”

The way Fowler finished only leads to two weeks of uncertaint­y.

Fowler needed only to finish alone in third place. Two shots behind with four holes to play — and two shots clear of third place — Fowler missed a 4-foot par putt on the 15th hole and made double bogey on the next hole. His late meltdown sent him to a 74, a tie for seventh and kept him off the Ryder Cup team.
