While the story might be a bit of a "flyer" its proberly worth
considering.

Apparently if Iraq is attacked any time in the next week or two the Yanks will run for cover and not play the Ryder Cup.

Curtis Strange is talking rubbish with a CAPITAL R!!!!! I don't even think that, even after the DREADFUL events of last September, the event last year would have been postponed if it had been hosted in the USA!!

Cant see that happening considering Iraq have now agreed to let UN weapon inspectors in.

whishful thinking by the europeans me thinks

Ireland's Padraig Harrison insisted he would have no qualms about lining up in such a circumstance but said the decision to compete would have to be an individual one.

Bush likes golf, maybe he'll delay an attack!

Seriously, I think the Yanks are in for a hiding, and are running scared. I fancy Europe to win and win easily.

That will be quite an achievement considering they're crap compared to the U.S.

Lads keep the unseamly battle of words until the week it starts!
