Spieth, Reed to face off
Texas native Jordan Spieth will find a familiar face waiting for him in round-robin play at the World Golf Championships Match Play Championship in Austin, Texas, this week in sometime United States teammate Patrick Reed. Spieth and Reed have teamed to great effect in two Ryder Cups and last year’s Presidents Cup, but will be meeting as match-play opponents for the first time. Sixteen groups of four will play round-robin matches from today through Friday at Austin Country Club, where knockout competition begins with Saturday’s round of 16. Australian Jason Day, the 2016 champion when Austin Country Club hosted the event for the first time, beat South African Louis Oosthuizen in the final. They’ll meet in the group stage this year. Reigning champion Dustin Johnson’s group includes Presidents Cup teammate Kevin Kisner. The top 16 ranked players are the top seeds in their respective groups, with the other spots decided by a random draw.
