Race to Dubai leader Patrick Reed is keen to make history this week at the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.

The former Masters Tournament winner can become the first American to top the Race to Dubai Rankings Presented by Rolex at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

However, only a win will guarantee Reed top spot and the Ryder Cup star is keen to get over the line in style.

“To be over here, be able to be back play on The European Tour is always a treat for me,” Reed said. “To be in the position that I'm in, being kind of the leader coming in, is an awesome feeling.

“Shows that what I did throughout year was solid and really it comes down to this event. Come down and play well and hopefully make history.

“I feel comfortable with the way the game is right now. I feel good going into tomorrow, and it's just one of those things that it's last event of the year.

“It's a sprint. Go out there and leave it all out there and play as hard as you can and hopefully by late Sunday, we have a chance to win not only the tournament but The Race to Dubai.”

Reed already has a Major and two World Golf Championships on his CV, but says being crowned number one would rank highly on his list of accomplishments.

“It would definitely be up there near the top,” he added. “You know it's always been a dream of mine to not only win on the PGA Tour but also on the European Tour, and to win the FedEx Cup as well as The Race to Dubai.

“To be able to get one of those kind of goals that I've had set for my career, especially this early, would be great.”
