AL MAZROWIAH, Bahrain — Patrick Reed delivered a solid performance with a 5-under 67 in the second round of the Bahrain Championship on the DP World Tour, though he found himself 10 strokes back from clubhouse leader Calum Hill of Scotland.
Reed’s recent victory at the Dubai Desert Classic has set the stage for his transition as he announced his exit from LIV Golf earlier this week. His decision to compete on the European tour for the remainder of the year reflects a strategic move as he aims to secure a favorable ranking in the Race to Dubai standings, which could pave the way for full status on the PGA Tour by 2027.
In a day marked by impressive scoring, Reed achieved seven birdies throughout his round. Meanwhile, Hill was exceptional, registering a remarkable 11 birdies and no bogeys, posting a stunning 61 to finish the day at 16-under par for the tournament. Hill’s four-shot advantage highlights his dominant form as the tournament progresses, setting a competitive atmosphere as the players vie for the title.
While Reed faces a significant gap to overcome, his determination and recent success indicate he remains a formidable competitor in the coming rounds of the championship.
