Reigning Link Hong Kong Open champion Patrick Reed from the Unites States has claimed his first individual title on the LIV Golf League after winning in Dallas on Sunday.

The American prevailed against England’s Paul Casey, South African Louis Oosthuizen and Japan’s Jinichiro Kozuma – who like Reed is a member of the Asian Tour.

Reed, who also came close to winning the International Series Macau presented by Wynn this year before tying for fourth, drained a tough birdie putt from about 17 feet on the first play-off hole to secure victory.

He had a three-shot lead going into the final round but closed with a three-over-par  75, at Maridoe Golf Club.

It marks the first time that Houston-area resident Reed has claimed a pro tournament of any kind in his native state of Texas.

For Reed it was a long-anticipated individual title in his 41st regular-season LIV Golf start. Although he’s celebrated seven team victories with 4Aces, he’s been arguably the best golfer without an individual win. His last win in Texas came as a junior golfer.

He said: “I don’t like hearing those numbers, that it took me 41 times just to win out here. It took too long, I felt like, but to check two things off and win for the first time on LIV and also doing it in my home state means a lot.”

4Aces finished second behind American Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC side, who recorded a runaway 11-shot win. India’s Anirban Lahiri, a seven-time winner on the Asian Tour and the Order of Merit champion in 2015, also plays for Crushers.
