Thomas Bjorn has kept his promise to have Europe’s Ryder Cup-winning score tattooed on his backside. European captain Bjorn said he would have the tattoo if his team beat the USA this summer and retweeted a video showing him having a 17 ½–10 ½ scoreline and trophy tattoo. “I told you I would do it,” he posted on Twitter, tagging in some of his victorious team members. In the video, initially posted by Ryder Cup Europe, Bjorn is shown entering a tattoo parlour and then grimacing as he lays face down on a table during the procedure. Europe were firm underdogs going into September’s event at Le Golf National near Paris, prompting Bjorn to promise the tattoo should his team pull off a surprise victory.
