Patrick Reed tunes out critics, comes from behind to win WGC-Mexico

MEXICO CITY — A week that began with more biting criticism about his escapade in the sand in the Bahamas last December ended with an emphatic response from Patrick Reed.

Reed blocked out all the noise, deflected the condemnations and accusations of cheating and then stormed from behind during a tense back nine Sunday to win the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship at Club de Golf Chapultepec.

Reed scrambled for a finishing bogey after driving it into the trees and two-putted from 34 feet for the win.

It was the perfect reply Reed was working toward considering the ongoing chatter about his conscience and his replies to claims of cheating.

This week Brooks Koepka said he wondered if Reed “was building sand castles” in the bunker.
