Darren Clarke has expressed anger after the brother of Danny Willett used an online column to attack American fans in a supposedly light-hearted way that has spectacularly backfired. Pete Willett shot to prominence by virtue of his comedic Twitter coverage of his brother winning the Masters in April. His brother, writing for nationalclubgolfer.com, also referred to US supporters as “cretins” and “fat, stupid, greedy, classless, bastards”. When posting the article on Twitter, Willett stressed: “I mean every word.”Clarke, Europe’s captain, and Danny Willett, are seriously unamused. It is not what Team Europe stands for.
