The 34-year-old American had finished on six under alongside England's Paul Casey, South African Louis Oosthuizen and Japan's Jinichiro Kozuma. Reed, who switched to LIV from the PGA Tour three years ago, holed a testing putt for a birdie on the first play-off hole to seal victory. He held a three-shot lead going into Sunday but was three over for his final round of 75. England's Tyrrell Hatton briefly held the lead on the back nine but a double bogey on the 12th hole scuppered his chances and he finished in a group one behind on five under. Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka withdrew from the event on Friday after hitting a tee box marker into the crowd. He smashed his club into the ground then struck the marker on the left of the tee towards a small group of fans after a poor tee shot on the ninth hole. Koepka pulled out, citing illness, after a bogey on that hole put him on seven over.
