But Reed fully expected to be paired with Spieth, and he felt blindsided, he said, when Furyk decided to pair Spieth with Justin Thomas, who starred with Rickie Fowler in last year’s Presidents Cup. Reed described the decision-making process as “a buddy system” that ignores the input of all but a few select players. “The issue’s obviously with Jordan not wanting to play with me,” Reed said, adding, “I don’t have any issue with Jordan. We know how to get the job done.”Spieth and Thomas went 3-1 as a team (their lone loss was by 5 and 4 to Molinari and Fleetwood). Reed and Woods lost their first match against Fleetwood and Molinari, after which, Reed said, Woods apologized for letting him down.
