European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke apologised on Wednesday. In the article, Pete Willett wrote: "They need to silence the pudgy, basement-dwelling, irritants, stuffed on cookie dough and pissy beer ..."They need to smash the obnoxious dads, with their shiny teeth, Lego man hair, medicated ex-wives, and resentful children." "I was just made aware of the article about an hour ago," Clarke said when asked at a Hazeltine press conference about it. Clarke made clear he did not share the depiction of U.S. fans whatsoever, and neither did Masters champion Willett. "It's Danny's brother's opinion, not Danny's or Team Europe's opinion, so Danny will resolve that."
