Spieth, Reed to do battle in Match Play

Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed starred as team-mates, but they are in the same group for the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.

Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed were drawn in the same group for the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, while Dustin Johnson was handed a better passage.

However, they will be opponents at the Austin Country Club beginning Wednesday after being drawn in Group 4.
