DP World Tour : Qatar Masters Tee Times Leaderboard
Patrick Reed has quit LIV but he brought his A game with him to the Middle East on this DP World Tour with a win at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and last week T2 at the Bahrain Championship.
Early this morning in Qatar he continued his purple patch posting 6 birdies in his first holes on his way to -7 65 and a T1 with another in form player Daniel Hillier who added an eagle to his 6 birdies -7 65.
Canada's Aaron Cockerill, who's wife Chelsea is due any day with their 2nd child, sunk a 20 footer on his first hole back after 45 days away, and is E through 6 holes.

Final EDIT
Patrick Reed continued his stunning start to the season to share the first-round lead with Daniel Hillier at the 2026 Qatar Masters.
The 2018 Masters Champion recorded his fourth DP World Tour win at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic two weeks ago and was only denied another in a play-off at last week's Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship.
Hillier, for his part, goes into the week fifth on the Race to Dubai Rankings delivered by DP World after four top-six finishes in his five events so far including second place at the Dubai Invitational and a tie for fourth in Bahrain - and the pair shared top spot here on-7 after rounds of 65.
The American said: "I hit the ball pretty well, especially early in the round, a lot of my birdies were just kind of kick-inshich is always nice, not having to think too much around there.
“The golf course, especially when it’s windy like this, it requires a lot of shot-making – you have to work the ball both ways, or flight things down, or take it up in the air. That’s the kind of golf I like. w
"I like to get creative when I’m out there and a golf course like this with a lot of doglegs and cross-winds, it allows you to do that. It’s just one of these places that kind of suits my eye."
There was a Scandinavian flavour to the chasing pack, with Sweden's Marcus Kinhult, Dane Jacob Skov Olesen and Finland's Oliver Lindell all at -6
They were joined late in the day by Spain's Angel Ayora and Italy's Gregorio De Leo, the latter ending his round with a bogey at the ninth hole to deny him a share of the lead.
Another Swede, Joakim Lagergren, was -5 alongside New Zealand's Kazuma Kobori.
