UNIVERSITY PLACE, Washington, June 19 (Reuters) - American Patrick Reed will tee off in Saturday's third round at the U.S. Open excited to be in a tie for the lead with his Ryder Cup team mate Jordan Spieth but not so thrilled about how he landed in the marquee pairing.
Though Reed caught world number two Spieth at the top after carding a one-under-par 69 in difficult scoring conditions on a firming Chambers Bay layout, he was frustrated to offset five birdies and an eagle with six bogeys during a rollercoaster second round.
"I actually felt it was a pretty disappointing round," the 24-year-old told reporters after ending the day level with Spieth at five-under 135.
