American Matt McCarty has claimed his maiden PGA Tour victory in just his third start at the 2024 Black Desert Championship, making history as the first player to win the tournament in their first three attempts. The triumph marks a significant milestone for the rising star, who showcased remarkable composure and skill throughout the challenging course. McCarty’s victory not only solidifies his position as a promising talent but also adds to the legacy of the Black Desert Championship.
Patrick Reed’s major championship streak has come to an end. The 32-year-old missed the cut at the 2023 U.S. Open, marking the first time he has failed to make the weekend at a major since the 2018 Open Championship.
Reed had made the cut in 15 consecutive major championships, a streak that included two top-10 finishes and a victory at the 2018 Masters. However, he struggled at The Country Club, shooting rounds of 75 and 77 to finish at 8-over par.
Reed’s missed cut is a significant blow to his hopes of qualifying for the Ryder Cup team. The United States team will be selected later this summer, and Reed was considered to be a likely pick based on his strong recent form in majors. However, his performance at the U.S. Open will likely hurt his chances of making the team.
