Q. 3-under par, 69 for you, how do you assess your performance?
PATRICK REED: First few days were awful. Yesterday and todays were okay. Felt like I left a lot of shots out there. Last two days, started to hit the ball better. Started to hit the ball solid over the last 36 holes. Kept hitting edges and lipping putts.
Felt like the moral of the story this week was the putter. Felt like I was hitting good putts but the ball wasn't going in; put me in the right spot.
But it's always nice to play those first two rounds really poorly and be able to fight my way back and get myself back to even par.
Q. What did you find over the weekend?
PATRICK REED: I think the biggest thing was, obviously hit more fairways than I did the first two days. But really biggest thing was just made a couple putts, a couple par putts, you have to ask, gave myself decent mount of birdie looks that were makeable. Felt like it was easy the first few days to hit the greens, but going and hitting it to 40, 50 feet doesn't do you any good. Makes those days a lot longer.
I felt like the last two days, had a decent amount of putts inside 10 feet and a ton inside 20 and was I was able to roll in a couple. Still felt like I should have made a decent amount more.
Q. Final event of of the season. Have you had an opportunity to assess what you have achieved this campaign?
PATRICK REED: A little. Obviously we wanted to win the whole thing but to start the year, sitting down with my family, the goal was to come out here and earn my way back to the PGA Tour.
To be able to go out and play the way I did, really when it really mattered this year, to go out there and secure -- you have ten spots, get one of those ten spots meant a lot.
Really, it was a grind. It was a lot of fun. I commend all the guys over here on this tour. I've played now on just about every tour, and it hard over here, traveling and flying nine, ten, 11, 12 hours or more to every single event is challenging. It's taxing on your body. It's taxing mentally. To be able to get a taste of it for the full season and to watch these guys do it year-in and year-out, is definitely tough.
But I've enjoyed every moment of it, and looking forward to coming back and supporting this tour and playing back out here next year.
Q. What have you learned about yourself this season that has afforded you the opportunity to do that?
PATRICK REED: I think the biggest thing is just the resilience to come out here and play and compete, and really, making that decision I did, you have one year. Go out there and you have to get it done. To go out there and have it start the way I did throughout the year, and really, to have some solid performances throughout the season, some days felt like the body felt good. Other weeks, the body didn't feel great with the travel and jet-lag.
Just showed the resilience that I have to be able to come out here and do it, week-in, week-out, and continuously play just solid golf.
Q. What excites you most about the return to the PGA Tour?
PATRICK REED: I mean, obviously being closer to home, and being able to have the opportunity to play against the best players in the world week-in and week-out is going to be a blast.
Really, for me, to have the little one the to be able to come back out and watch me play. It's been hard, ever since joining LIV, to get the family to be able to travel and get the kids coming out and watch me play. Because it's not like you can just hop on a flight and get over there. With school and everything, they are not able to come out hardly at all except for the summer.
With that being said, now them being able to have an hour or two-hour flight, in for the weekends, or miss a day or two of school to hang out with dad is going to be awesome. It's going to be a lot of fun.
