Danny Willett Apologizes For Brother's Column, Does Not Believe American Fans Are A Baying Mob Of Imbeciles

Speaking to Golf Channel's Steve Burkowski, Danny Willett certainly sounds contrite and upset in apologizing for his brother's column mocking the American Ryder Cup fan.

Willett says they are not the thoughts of his teammates and that he phoned his brother to discuss.

Captain Darren Clarke addressed the matter, writes Alistair Tait for Golfweek.com.

The look of anger on Clarke’s face told the whole story. This was the last thing he needed as he sets out to try to win the Ryder Cup for Europe for a fourth consecutive time.

“I was made aware of the article about an hour ago,” Clarke said. “I showed it to Danny and he’s bitterly disappointed in his brother’s article. It’s not what Danny thinks. It’s not what I think. It’s not what Team Europe stands for.

For his part, PJ Willett is suggesting the piece was satirical.

I'm just pleased there was a time you took me seriously. https://t.co/Dqa0WFrqYS
