Reed holds nerve to triumph

GOLF Patrick Reed kept his cool to complete a comfortable four-shot victory at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.

- 

The American showed his class around Emirates Golf Club to lead after 36 and 54 holes, taking a four-shot advantage at 14 under into Sunday's final round.

A conservative front nine saw him card eight pars and a bogey as David Puig halved the deficit thanks to birdies at the eighth and ninth.

Reed finally found his first birdie at the 10th, but playing partner Puig rolled in his third in a row at the same hole to remain a threat.
