After a wait of almost four years Jordan Speith finally taster victory again at the Valero Texas Open on Sunday. The American who had shown signs of a return to form over recent weeks had not won on the PGA Tour since he lifted the Open trophy at Birkdale in 2017.

Patrick Reed seemed unaffected by another rules controversy. He strolled to a five-stroke win and his ninth PGA Tour title at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in California.
What is wrong with Patrick Reed? He is a great golfer but a rather marmite character who seems you either love or hate. Sadly, given his propensity to sail close to the wind with the golf rules, supporters are few and far between.
