Jordan Spieth vs. Patrick Reed will be the story after two days

The Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed rivalry is the future of American golf. Spieth at 21-years-old and Reed at 24 are young hot shots that have proved that they’re solidified golfers on the PGA Tour.

Spieth ranks fourth in the world and Reed ranks fifteenth. Both have surging confidence and each has a victory this season and multiple top-10 finishes.

It’s very possible that Reed and Spieth will be on or right near the top after the first two rounds at Augusta National because of their extremely consistent play and ability to get off to great starts. Reed’s round one scoring average is his best out of each round and his putting in the first round is also his best. Spieth is more of a second round guy with his round two scoring average at 69.88 and his 27 putts per second round ranking as his best per the four days.

In Spieth’s rookie Masters last year he was very impressive and was able to finish T-2 and he definitely has a great chance of winning, but with much of the attention on him this week, I just don’t see it happening. Reed also played his rookie Masters last year but missed the cut. Both guys have been the story of American golf this year and they will be early in the Masters this week.
