DALLAS (AP) — Patrick Reed’s streak of playing every major since the 2014 Masters ended on Monday when he withdrew from U.S. Open qualifying, leaving the LIV Golf player no other avenue to earn a spot at Pinehurst No. 2.
Reed did well enough in the Masters (tie for 12th) to move enough into the top 100 in the world, and the PGA Championship gave him an invitation to play last week at Valhalla.
The U.S. Open took the top 60 in the world from this week’s ranking. Reed is at No. 92 — he would have needed third place at Valhalla to crack the top 60, and he finished in a tie for 53rd. His only other avenue was to go through a 36-hole qualifier. He chose the Dallas site held Monday, and withdrew.
The USGA said once a player signs up for a qualifier, he cannot enter another one.
The Dallas qualifier, the first of 11 in North America, had nine players from LIV Golf, including Sergio Garcia and Abraham Ancer. Reed was among them until he withdrew. The USGA did not disclose why Reed and nine other players pulled out.
