CHASKA, Minn. – A task force, a handful of controversies and apologies, and two years of anticipation will finally give way to actual competition when the 41st Ryder Cup gets underway Friday morning.
Captains Davis Love III and Darren Clarke revealed their lineups for the opening foursome matches, and both will lead off with their strongest duo.
Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed, 2-0-1 as a team at Gleneagles, will play Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson, who also led off the Europeans two years ago in Scotland and went 3-0 as a team, in the day’s first match.
