Patrick Reed’s Major Streak Comes to a Surprising Close at the U.S. Open
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.
