Got your back, Cap: JT knew Spieth pairing 'in advance'

Justin Thomas has backed up the claims of U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk.Thomas was inadvertently thrown into the Patrick Reed controversy after the Ryder Cup, after Reed told The New York Times that he was blindsided by Furyks decision to split up him and Jordan Spieth, who were 8-1-3 together as partners. Spieth instead paired up with Thomas, one of his best friends on the PGA Tour, and they compiled a 3-1 record together; Reed went 0-2 with Tiger Woods as his partner.This week, Furyk, in a wide-ranging interview with Golf Channel insider Tim Rosaforte, said that those pairings were set weeks earlier, and Thomas confirmed that Wednesday.That was something obviously that had been talked about in advance, Thomas told reporters at the CIMB Classic in Malaysia, but all I was worried about was I knew that I was going to play with Jordan and we were worrying about taking care of our point and taking care of our match. Its a team event, and its a team week, and were all worried about each other, but thats kind of our thing, is we do our job. Jordan and Is job was to go out and get a point, and thats what we were fortunate enough to at least get three out of four.Thomas was one of the lone bright spots for the Americans, going 4-1 in his first Ryder Cup, including a singles victory over Rory McIlroy that gave the U.S. at least a glimmer of hope on the final day.Rather than focus on the perceived dysfunction among the Americans, Thomas said its easy to forget just how well the Europeans played at home.Its so easy to look at the captains and say its their fault, Thomas said, but at the end of the day we didnt play well enough. The Europeans played exponentially better than we did thats why they beat us as bad as they did. Its easy to look at pairings and say, well, we should have done this or we could have done that, but it doesnt matter if you put the two winningest guys of all time together: If they dont play well, theyre going to lose. Everybody has their own thoughts and feelings, but at the end of the day we just didnt play well enough.
