The 35-year-old stayed patient on a testing front nine as he carded eight pars and one dropped shot to reach the turn with his overnight advantage cut in half to two shots.
David Puig completed a hat-trick of birdies from the eighth to briefly sit one back before Reed signed for his first birdie at the 10th.
But when Reed birdied the 13th and Puig dropped a shot on the same hole, the World No. 44 regained his four-shot lead with five holes to play, and he never looked back.
