Westwood Twitter Tirade; Countdown Begins Toward His Re-Retirement From Social Media

/

Jack De Menezes encapsulates Lee Westwood's post-PGA Championship Twitter tirade toward the "trolls" which, unless you really have a lot of free time, is not worth the time.

Unless you like to see how an Officer Of The Order Of The British Empire thinks of others, especially after a major championship!

Westwood also took aim at former Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie, responding to criticism made by the golfer-turned-TV pundit by replying “who?”.

His tirade continued, trying to goad more from those having a go at him, as he said: "Ahhh just when I'm in the mood the haters all go quiet! They must have the porn on! Ahhh the haters have all gone quiet now ! Obviously didn't like a bit back at em!

"Come on you girly boy trolls! I've only won just over 2 mill on course this year! Need you to keep me entertained a bit longer than this!

Uh, hate to interrupt, but is that pounds or dollars? Because if it's dollars, well, Boo Weekley's won $2.5 million...

"I love slagging people back! Had enough of sitting there taking it. Bring it on!"

After appearing to grow tired of tweeting, the world No 14 signed off for the night by saying: "Not been hacked. Just honest. Bored now. Westy out."

He suggested there might have been some aid this tirade...

 


Feherty asked Westwood earlier this year about quitting social media.

"It can take over your life, [you can] get addicted to it. The thing that put me off was the amount of negativity. Negativity I don't need in my life."

I forgot Feherty's advice of using it as an offensive weapon. Sounds like someone listened!
