Patrick Reed seems likely to jet to Korea with a professional attitude, sensing an opportunity to end a victory drought stretching to almost 14 months, and the Texan looks a decent wager for top American honours in the CJ Cup.

Reed finished last season strongly, sharing second place in the USPGA Championship before a lucrative FedEx Cup playoffs in which he posted three top-20s. He scored 3.5 points in the Presidents Cup in his last outing.

Reed has shown himself to be a capable overseas performer, particularly on the European Tour at the end of 2015, and could easily take a shine to Nine Bridges in Korea.

Recommendation
P Reed top American
