"Which means that 58.23% think Europe will win. Are we being arrogant...or just confident? '

Here's the poll in full:

How do you think Tiger Woods' absence will affect the U.S. team's chances of winning back the Ryder Cup?
Europe's a lock to win - 10.26%
It hurts the U.S. team's chances of winning - 21.49%
It'll be the Wounded Tiger Syndrome: The rest of the U.S. team will suck it up and win - 41.63%
The U.S. was going to lose anyway - 26.61%

I suppose it depends on your definition of learning! If you look at the record recently I am still surprised at their positivity....

Then again, maybe I prefer it when they're arrogant so I can get worked up about it!
