Spieth, Johnson paired

INCHEON. — Danny Lee and Marc Leishman received the golfing equivalent of a “hospital pass” yesterday after the International duo were served up to America’s world number one golfer Jordan Spieth and big-hitting Dustin Johnson for the Presidents Cup foursomes.

Today’s opening foursomes, where players hit alternate shots with the same ball, also sees the Internationals’ 2013 pairing of Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama reunited to face Bubba Watson and JB Holmes. South Africans Louis Oosthuizen and Branden Grace are up against Matt Kuchar and Patrick Reed and Asian pair Anirban Lahiri and Thongchai Jaidee play Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker. Australian duo Jason Day and Steven Bowditch will take on Phil Mickelson and Zach Johnson.

The Presidents Cup, which is played for every two years by the United States and a team of international players minus Europeans, continues tomorrow and Saturday with foursome and four ball fixtures before 12 singles matches on Sunday. — Reuters.
