Patrick Reed Retires with a Hand Injury Midway Through Second Round of BMW PGA Championship
Reed left after nine holes with an apparent wrist injury after a 4-under opening round, and he was 9-over for the second round.
- On Friday, Patrick Reed withdrew from the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club midway through his second round. The 2018 Masters champion departed the course on a cart shortly after the injury occurred.
- Entering the tournament, Reed held an 840-point lead in the Race to Dubai over Rory McIlroy. He opened the European tour's flagship event with a 4-under 68 on Thursday, positioning himself in strong contention.
- Attempting a shot from near a tree root on the ninth hole, Reed appeared to injure his wrist. He was 9-over par for the round when he chose to stop playing at the 10th tee.
- While McIlroy pursues a record-equalling eighth Race to Dubai title, Reed's withdrawal coincides with early exits by Ryder Cup teammates Jon Rahm and Tommy Fleetwood. Reed previously joked he "wouldn't mind making him wait one more year" to equal the record.
- The American's PGA Tour status for 2027 remains secure despite the exit. He is scheduled to return to action in a fortnight at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, having decided to skip next week's FedEx Open de France.
