Patrick Reed Shoots 59 at Link Hong Kong Open

Patrick Reed made history by shooting an 11-under-par 59 during the third round of the Link Hong Kong Open, making him the second player in Asian Tour history to achieve this feat. Despite a poor warm-up, Reed managed to record five straight birdies at the start and birdied his last four holes, placing him three shots ahead of competitors Rashid Khan and Nitithorn Thippong. The score, however, will not be an official record due to the use of preferred lies. Reed, who has not won since the 2021 Farmers Insurance Open, is seeking his first victory in nearly four years and his maiden win on the Asian Tour. This performance comes after a year of varied success across different tours including LIV Golf and the DP World Tour. Reed was previously paired with John Catlin, who shot the first 59 on the Asian Tour earlier this year.
