Most likely because of:
a)The completely biased NBC cheerleading, and general media spin we get (it doesn't matter/excuses are made when the US loses, or, the over the top, "greatest moments in golf" when they win) here in Canada.
and
b) The completely classless celebrations from the US 7 years ago when they came back from so far down,
I cannot get enough of watching (supposed unknown) European golfers taking it to the Americans in the Ryder Cup day after day.
I'll be honest, I only watch the PGA week to week if Woods is in contention. In this, I could care less how he does, although , thankfully, he carries himself with class throughout the whole event, not be that guy (there always is one) that makes some silly patrioitc comment or acts like a pompus jerk to try and pump the team up.
Most of it is the fault of the air of US superiority that NBC seems to play up in their coverage.
