Patrick Reed put himself in place for a maiden Hero Dubai Desert Classic success and then virtually brushing aside talk of facing possible mega million dollar DP World Tour fines.

Woods had made his Dubai debut in 2004, won in 2006, played again in 2007 and then won for a second time in 2008 while returning to tee-up again in 2011, 2014 and ...
