Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth could set new U.S. team standard this week
No two U.S. players have partnered more often in a Ryder Cup than Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed, seven times, going 4-2-1 together.
That mark could fall this week.
Three years ago in Paris, France, U.S. captain Jim Furyk split up the productive Reed-Spieth pairing, much to the consternation of the Reed camp.
Reed went 0-2 with Tiger Woods as a partner. Spieth went 3-1 alongside Justin Thomas.
While Reed isn’t on this year’s U.S. squad, Spieth and Thomas have returned – as more than just teammates, one would think.
