INCHEON:


The fearsome pairing of Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson will take on South African duo Louis Oosthuizen and Branden Grace to open Friday’s four-balls at the Presidents Cup, as the US look to build on their 4-1 lead.


The Americans got off to a stellar start on Thursday while International struggled.


Spieth and Johnson swatted aside Marc Leishman and Danny Lee, Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker crushed Anirban Lahiri and Thongchai Jaidee, while Phil Mickelson and Zach Johnson held off Jason Day and Steven Bowditch. Bubba Watson and JB Holmes set the tone with a win over Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama, with the only blue on the scoreboard coming from Oosthuizen and Grace.
