Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia Compete for Bahrain Title in Final Round
In a dramatic twist at the Bahrain Championship, Calum Hill of Scotland emerged with a strong performance, taking the lead heading into the final round. Hill managed an even-par 72 on Saturday, maintaining his position at 16-under 200, just ahead of his competitors Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia.
Calum Hill Leads the Way
Hill’s consistent play has put him two shots ahead of Germany’s Freddy Schott, who shot a 70 and is now at 14-under. This week has proven particularly significant for Reed, who after securing a victory at the Dubai Desert Classic, is now striving for another title.
Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia Close the Gap
Reed made an impressive comeback with a 66, featuring five birdies and an eagle. This performance propelled him from ten shots behind to only four off the lead. His competitive spirit was evident when he stated, “Are you going to be the hunted or the hunter? Looks like I’m going to be the hunter tomorrow.”
Sergio Garcia also displayed solid play, finishing the day with a score of 68, placing him alongside Reed at 204 and just four shots back from Hill.
Upcoming Challenges
- Calum Hill: 16-under 200
- Freddy Schott: 14-under 202
- Patrick Reed: 12-under 204
- Sergio Garcia: 12-under 204
Looking ahead, Reed plans to compete on the European tour, with the Qatar Masters next on his agenda. His goal is to secure a spot among the top ten players in the Race to Dubai, which would pave the way for a future return to the PGA Tour with limited status.
As the final round approaches, all eyes will be on Hill, Reed, and Garcia, each vying for the Bahrain Championship title. The competition promises to be intense and closely watched by golf fans worldwide.
