Thursday’s Masters pairings are below. There are a couple of very interesting groupings, which I’ve put in bold type.
Interesting also to note that of the 33 groupings, only 11 feature two american players, and none have three. They like to mix up the nationalities.

Those are interesting groupings. The Watson, Garcia and Donald one also promises to be watchable. I especially like your Spieth, Reed and McIlroy pick. Reed’s ego (I’m a top 5 player), I think will prompt McIlroy and Spieth to put the pedal to the metal.
