The Presidents Cup has never been able to match the importance and tradition of the Ryder Cup, but this year's final day of competition between the U.S. team and the Internationals sets up to be as dramatic as any team competition in recent memory.

The U.S. team, featuring Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson, takes a 9½-8½ lead into the 12 singles matches that will decide the winner of the event at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in South Korea.

While all of the matchups have the potential to decide the outcome, there was some disappointment when the lineups were announced because U.S. coach Jay Haas chose not to pit Spieth against Jason Day. Instead, Day will face Zach Johnson while Spieth will meet Marc Leishman.

International captain Nick Price told Rex Hoggard of the Golf Channel that he thought the Day-Spieth matchup would be scheduled. "I was surprised they put Jordan down opposite Marc Leishman, but obviously they figured out where their strengths are,” Price said.

Haas explained that he didn't think a Spieth-Day matchup was "make-or-break" to the outcome of the Presidents Cup.

This is what the home fans came to see. #QuickHits http://t.co/sZMWINRxkE

Key match analysis

Patrick Reed, U.S. vs. Louis Oosthuizen, International

Oosthuizen has had an excellent run so far in the Presidents Cup, winning all of his matches and displaying the same kind of error-free play that he showed during the 2014-15 golf season. Oosthuizen would appear to have an advantage over Patrick Reed, who has not been quite as consistent as Oosthuizen. However, Reed loves match play, and he came up with a huge victory over Henrik Stenson in last year's Ryder Cup.

Perfect. Oosthuizen-Grace becomes first International team to go 4-0-0 in single week: http://t.co/uxvYOk2O73 pic.twi...
