According to the Power Rankings, which are based on recent performance, it should be a pretty even match, but the U.S. team is too strong at the top. The Internationals may have Jason Day, but the U.S team has 7 players ranked higher than the second-highest ranked International (Hideki Matsuyama). Maybe the fact that the matches will take place in South Korea will even it out.
