Smack talk in golf? From a person who isn’t even swinging a club to represent Team Europe in the upcoming Ryder Cup? Yep. That happened.
Ahead of the 2016 Ryder Cup at Hazeltine, the brother of Masters winner Danny Willett, Paul Willett, sounded off on the American fans…and it was loaded with bards like calling said fans “imbeciles,” “brainless,” and the mighty “unwashed” trash talk.
One shouldn’t be too surprised to see the other Willett brother go off though, because his Twitter game has been strong for some time now. Still, the smack talk brought ahead of the Ryder Cup is something few have seen in the usually gentile world of professional golf.
You know, etiquette and such.
Paul threw that out the window, and here is the full excerpt of what he had to say to National Club Golfer:
Team USA have only won five of the last 16 Ryder Cups. Four of those five victories have come on home soil. For the Americans to stand a chance of winning, they need their baying mob of imbeciles to caress their egos every step of the way. Like one of those brainless bastards from your childhood, the one that pulled down your shorts during the school’s Christmas assembly (f**k you, Paul Jennings), they only have the courage to keg you if they’re backed up by a giggling group of reprobates. Team Europe needs to shut those groupies up.
They need to silence the pudgy, basement-dwelling, irritants, stuffed on cookie dough and pissy beer, pausing between mouthfuls of hotdog so they can scream ‘Baba booey’ until their jelly faces turn red.
They need to stun the angry, unwashed, Make America Great Again swarm, desperately gripping their concealed-carry compensators and belting out a mini-erection inducing ‘mashed potato,’ hoping to impress their cousin.
They need to smash the obnoxious dads, with their shiny teeth, Lego man hair, medicated ex-wives, and resentful children. Squeezed into their cargo shorts and boating shoes, they’ll bellow ‘get in the hole’ whilst high-fiving all the other members of the Dentists’ Big Game Hunt Society.
A Brit referencing anything dentist related? Oh the irony of it all.
Willett clearly has no love for American’s or the American Ryder Cup fan he has run in to. I’m guessing said fans won’t revel in any struggles his brother has or heckle Danny any harder than normal…nah, that would never happen.
We’re guessing the other Willett brother is going to have one heck of a time dealing with those “brainless bastards,” let alone Team USA on its home soil for the Ryder Cup.
Hope you enjoy your stay in the home of free speech, because you can bet that kind of talk would also include a nice visit from the authorities back home. You’re welcome for being able to speak your mind, you just better hope your brother can back it up this weekend.
