AUGUSTA, Ga. _ Patrick Reed looks like a guy who spends his Sunday afternoons at the grill, arguing that charcoal makes the meat taste better.
His look is awkward _ ill-fitting pants, an upside down pin on his hat, a magenta shirt that will never catch on. His most common look is a scowl, and fellow Texan Jordan Spieth is infinitely more popular. While observers showered Spieth with roars Sunday at Augusta National, they greeted Reed with golf claps.
But here's the thing: Reed doesn't care.
He'll never be the most popular champion, but he is a major champion after grinding out a final-round 71 to win the Masters by one shot, at 15-under.
Spieth began the day nine strokes back, threatening to break the Masters record for the greatest Sunday comeback: eight shots. He played the first 16 holes in 9-under, tying for the lead. But Spieth yanked his tee shot on 18 and missed an 8-footer for par, settling for 64 and a 13-under total.
Rickie Fowler shot 67 and finished at 14-under, one shot back.
The 27-year-old Reed, nicknamed "Captain America" for his superhuman Ryder Cup play, two-putted from 20 feet on 18 for the win.
Rory McIlroy, in search of the career grand slam, hit just eight greens and shot 74.
