DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Former Masters champion and current LIV Golf circuit member Patrick Reed eased to victory at the Dubai Desert Classic by four strokes Sunday.
Reed, who held a four-stroke lead after the third round, finished ahead of England’s Andy Sullivan.
Julien Guerrier of France and Spain’s David Puig finished tied for third, one back of Sullivan.
Rory McIlroy‘s chances of a record-extending fifth title fell well short with a 33rd-place tie.
Reed, who won the 2018 Masters for his only major victory, earned his fifth win on the European tour. He has won one LIV event, in Dallas last year, since joining the Saudi-funded league in 2022.
