Jordan Spieth has had plenty of time to prepare for the Ryder Cup. After a disappointing finish at the BMW, Spieth missed the cut to go to East Lake. He finished 31st on the year, and tied for 55th during that final tournament.

Knowing that he has done well at the Ryder Cup couldn’t come at a better time for Spieth. The end of the 2018 PGA season didn’t play out all that well for him. He has recorded only one top ten finish since the Masters. Alongside that, he missed back-to-back cuts in June at the Memorial and the U.S. Open.

Luckily for Spieth, he has played pretty well for the U.S. Ryder Cup squad in his career. Singles have been his only struggle, losing 3&2 to Henrik Stenson in 2016, and 2&1 to Graeme McDowell in 2014. This is his only negative mark, leaving him 0-2-0 in singles play.

Four-ball is where he has really flourished, at 3-1-0. Foursomes have been beneficial as well with a 1-0-2 record. The interesting part to watch with Spieth is that he has only been paired with Patrick Reed so far. Watching if Furyk continues to ride the hot pair or not will be a large talking point in France.
