When Danny Willett steps up to the tee at Hazeltine this weekend, it will likely be to a chorus of boos. He can blame his brother for it.
You may remember PJ Willett for his live tweeting of the Masters earlier this year. It was tournament where his brother wrote his name into the annals of golf by winning his first major.
Willett's entertaining tweets - such as suggesting he could 'get a beer, go to the toilet, and paint the spare room' in the time it takes Jordan Spieth to set up for a shot - won him a column with NationalClubGolfer.com.
His effort ahead of this weekend's Ryder Cup - being held in the US - features a remarkable takedown on American golf enthusiasts. Willett is not a fan of the 'Baba booey' and 'Mashed potato' shouting 'cretins' who often populate US golf events.
If Europe are to win, Willett says they will have to silence the American fans. You'd have to think they're going to be even more raucous given Willett's incendiary words.
Team USA have only won five of the last 16 Ryder Cups. Four of those five victories have come on home soil. For the Americans to stand a chance of winning, they need their baying mob of imbeciles to caress their egos every step of the way. Like one of those brainless bastards from your childhood, the one that pulled down your shorts during the school’s Christmas assembly (f**k you, Paul Jennings), they only have the courage to keg you if they’re backed up by a giggling group of reprobates. Team Europe needs to shut those groupies up.
They need to silence the pudgy, basement-dwelling, irritants, stuffed on cookie dough and pissy beer, pausing between mouthfuls of hotdog so they can scream ‘Baba booey’ until their jelly faces turn red.
They need to stun the angry, unwashed, Make America Great Again swarm, desperately gripping their concealed-carry compensators and belting out a mini-erection inducing ‘mashed potato,’ hoping to impress their cousin.
They need to smash the obnoxious dads, with their shiny teeth, Lego man hair, medicated ex-wives, and resentful children. Squeezed into their cargo shorts and boating shoes, they’ll bellow ‘get in the hole’ whilst high-fiving all the other members of the Dentists’ Big Game Hunt Society.
Team Europe need to silence these cretins quickly.
On Twitter, Willett apologised in advance to his American followers but also insisted he means every word of what he has written.
My #RyderCup piece.
Sorry to any American followers... but I mean every word. COME ON #TeamEurope @NCGmagazine https://t.co/cPIUW0pFEy— P J Willett (@P_J_Willett) September 27, 2016
