Patrick Reed is always one of the star attractions when he plays on the DP World Tour and the American is firmly in the thick of things at this week’s Spanish Open.

Reed has had a career of headlines ranging from controversies on and off the course to being a major champion and Ryder Cup hero.

All in all, Reed is one of America’s finest golfers of the last two decades and while we don’t see him as much due to his LIV Golf move, he’s always an attraction.

Over in Madrid this week, Reed is looking to make his mark and get another DP World Tour win.

And after his second round at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, the American has put himself in contention going into the weekend.

Patrick Reed impresses in the second round of the Spanish Open

As always seems to be the case with Patrick Reed, there were some ups and downs in an exciting round but ultimately, he finds himself well under par.

After shooting 68 on day one, Reed has now followed it up with a second round 67 to put himself at seven-under for the tournament and just one off the lead.

Reed’s second round saw him make a stunning eagle on the par five fourth, which he followed up with birdie on six.

However, a disastrous bogey on the par five seventh set him back before he immediately bounced back on eight with another birdie.

From there, things settled, with Reed making 9 pars over the final 10 holes and adding another birdie on 15 to improve his score.

Going into the weekend, Reed will be excited about the prospect of landing another win on the DP World Tour.

Patrick Reed’s wins on the DP World Tour

Reed has always been an advocate for the DP World Tour and despite his move to LIV, he’s remained keen on supporting the tour.

With Reed into double figures in terms of professional wins, three of those have come on the DP or European Tour over the years.

However, he hasn’t won since 2020, meaning if he blows it in Spain it’s going to be approaching six years since his last win on the DP World Tour.

Right now, Reed is in the picture to win and he’ll be disappointed not to get over the line at this stage.
