Not really even in the same class with the Ryders Cup, maybe the fact that we're so dominant in this one and the Ryder Cup is a struggle makes it more interesting. Of course then there is tradition, golf is more international now and maybe eventually this will approach the Ryder Cup. I don't think it helps that it's in Korea either. But right now the US is in it's usual position, up big. They lead after round one match play 4-1. Phil had a spectacular sand shot that was just classic Phil and makes you realize why he was the Captains pick even though by this years record there certainly others who deserved it more.
