In a play-off, Patrick Reed won the LIV Tour’s first match against the Dallas team, beating three opponents.

The 34-year-old American finished with Paul Casey, Paul Oosthuizen, Louis Oosthuizen, and Jinichiro Kozuma, both from Japan, at six under.

On the opening play-off hole, Reed, who left the PGA Tour three years ago, put a testing putt for a birdie to win.

He was three over for his final round of 75, which gave him a three-shot lead going into Sunday.

Tyrrell Hatton, England’s top golfer, briefly held the lead on the back nine, but a double bogey on the 12th hole scuppered his chances, leaving him one shot back and five under.

Brooks Koepka, a five-time major champion, withdrew from the competition on Friday after punching a tee box into the crowd.

After a poor tee shot on the ninth hole, he hit his club into the ground before striking the left-hander to the left of the tee in the direction of a small crowd of fans.
