SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – Turns out U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk’s idea to break up Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed wasn’t so bad after all, at least for Spieth.

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – Both Ryder Cup captains clearly used the same philosophy with their respective singles lineups: Start with firecrackers and hope it spreads to the rest of the team. Of course, since Europe has a 10-6 lead, the missions are completely different. Jim Furyk hopes his American team throws a bunch of red on […]
