LONDON (Reuters) - Vice-captain Tom Lehman believes the United States "are in very good shape to win the Ryder Cup" next year for the first time since 2008.

Lehman, who led the side beaten by Ian Woosnam's team at the K Club in Ireland in 2006, said U.S. Masters and U.S. Open champion Jordan Spieth and world number 18 Patrick Reed would be the fulcrum of the 2018 team at Hazeltine.
