Patrick Reed fired a five-under-par 66 to set the early pace with Martin Laird of Scotland in the opening round of The Barclays Championship on Thursday. World number 14 Reed rattled off 10 consecutive pars over the opening 10 holes before hitting three birdies and an eagle over the final eight holes at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale. Reed's impressive opening round gave him a share of the lead with Laird as the early flights came home.
