Ortiz Defeats Reed to Win International Series Macau, Qualifies for Open Championship

Carlos Ortiz triumphed over Patrick Reed to win the International Series Macau, finishing with a final round of six-under-par 64 for a total of 22 under, three strokes ahead of Reed. This victory also secured three spots for LIV golfers at the upcoming Open Championship, with Jason Kokrak finishing third at 16 under. The competition was intense, as Reed initially led but faced a significant swing in momentum after Ortiz's eagle on the seventh hole brought him back into contention. Both players exchanged leads throughout the round, but Reed's late bogey on the penultimate hole allowed Ortiz to pull ahead for the win. Other notable performances included Dominic Foos and Sergio Garcia, who finished just outside the qualifying spots. The event highlighted the ongoing rivalry and competitiveness among LIV golfers on the Asian Tour.
