Patrick Reed finally backed up his confident talk on Sunday by shooting a 1-under 71 and holding off Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth to win his first major championship at the Masters.
Reed had flashed his immense talents before, especially under the pressure-cooker that is the Ryder Cup, but this is the first time he’s put it all together on a major weekend.
As is tradition, PGA Tour pros, legendary athletes, and even Donald Trump took to Twitter to offer the new Masters champ their congratulations. Check out a sample of them below.
Congrats @PReedGolf! At worst you have assured yourself a captain’s pick for next year’s @PresidentsCup.

Congratulations to Patrick Reed on his great and courageous MASTERS win! When Patrick had his amazing win at Doral 5 years ago, people saw his great talent, and a bright future ahead. Now he is the Masters Champion!

I covered my 1st Masters in 1979 and I can’t remember a player making more clutch putts than Patrick Reed just KEPT MAKING all the way home, including a highly missable 5-footer at 17 and easily choke-able 3-footer to win. Didn’t hit the ball well enough to win. Putter won it.

Congrats Patrick Reed. Is it just me or is golf the only game that the competitors don’t want to know what the score is during play?
