CHASKA, Minn. – European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke said Wednesday that an anti-American rant written by Danny Willett’s brother was “very disappointing” and that it does not represent the views of his team.
Peter Willett, whose brother, Danny, is making his Ryder Cup debut this week, said in an article that appeared in National Club Golfer that most American golf fans are “pudgy, basement-dwelling irritants” who are “fat, stupid, greedy, classless bastards.”
Clarke said he first learned of Willett’s story about an hour before he met with the media Wednesday at Hazeltine.
