Patrick Reed has fired Jordan Spieth a vote of confidence following the Presidents Cup team announcement last week.
29-year-old Reed was revealed as one of Tiger Woods’ four captain’s picks, while Spieth has been left out of the side that is set to take on the International Team next month.
Despite the snub, Reed has backed his former Ryder Cup teammate, who is without a victory since 2017, to recover.

“It’s Jordan, he was my first teammate, he’s going to bounce back,” said Reed in a report by the Independent.
Reed being split from Spieth was one of the big talking points from the Ryder Cup last year, after they were so successful in previous years, but the 2018 Masters champion is convinced he will find his touch again.
