A CBS comment:

Poor Grillo and Kim. They don't know what's about to hit them. They get one of the great players of all time ... and Jordan Spieth in front of a jazzed up New York crowd that will be out for blood.

This has the makings to be an absolute bloodbath.

Alternate shot is probably the toughest game. Makes it tougher to call day one. I’ll say 3-2

Hopefully Stricker paired everyone up that likes the other guy's balls.

Day has been very average this year. So has Phil for that matter though. Grace/Oosthuizen was undefeated 2 years ago.

The thing about Phil though-he makes birdies even when his overall scores are meh. And, in this format, he's great to have around the green to make up for a not so great approach.

Taking into consideration the play of these players the last 3-4 weeks

Thomas/Fowler - US Point
Kuchar/Johnson - US Point
Reed/Spieth - US Point

Koepka/Berger vs. Oosty/Grace
This is an intriguing matchup... All 4 have had some decent runs lately... Oosty and Grace have their excellent history together but Berger is a different type of animal and hates to lose... Should be a fun match to watch.
EVEN - HALF POINT

Day/Leishman probably have a little better overall recent play than Phil/Kisner.
This will be another good match. Slight edge to Day/Leishman
INT POINT

US - 3-1/2
INT - 1-1/2

Reed/Spieth should be paired up against them. I'll give this to Reed; he is the man in these competitions.
