Danny Willett’s brother throws shade at all Americans in fiery post

Published

on

Danny Willett, the 2016 Masters Champion and European Ryder Cup Team member, will have an extra large target on his back at Hazeltine this week due to an article posted by his outspoken brother, P.J.

Remember when P.J. had golf Twitter in stitches while live tweeting his brother’s bid to win the Green Jacket, and a made a few jokes at Jordan Spieth’s expense?

Yea, well his digs at Americans probably won’t go over as well. Below is an excerpt from his post in the National Club Golfer, where he defends his brother and his team by ripping into Americans.

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.

Tell us how you really feel, P.J.!

Trent from Barstool Sports has already labelled Danny Willett as Public Enemy No. 1 at Hazeltine this week, and the story is everywhere in the social media sphere. And even though captain Darren Clarke has indicated Danny doesn’t stand behind his brother’s remarks, we’re expecting the fans in Minnesota won’t be eager to make a distinction between the sentiments of the brothers Willett.

What do you think about P.J.’s remarks? Extremely out of line? Envelope-pushing pre-competition propaganda?

    Great job, bro. You just made sure Danny boy will be heckled more than Sergio every time he plays on the best golf tour on earth.

    In the end it looks as though Danny was absolutely correct. The American fans were disgusting pigs…

    The obnoxiousness and unsportsmanlike behaviour from the crowd is out of control. It makes for a horrible spectacle for any real golf fan.

      Absolutely agree!

      I cannot believe that there was a lengthy debate about PJ, particularly when Danny doesn’t even look like it has bothered him.

      The crowd have been complete muppets. That is where the focus should be. The amount of completely rubbish human beings that have been goading the European team from the crowd is uncanny.

      Ban this pathetic competition to the relics of history. The idiot hot dog munching, red faced gibbons that are drunk in two bud lites have turned the competition into a farce.

        Oct 2, 2016 at 11:24 am

        I agree as well. I know I gave PJ a hard time but there are some terrible golf spectators out there. With 17 grandstands throughout the course it must be a nut house.

      And I don’t mean that to be cryptic. It simply means the guy is an obvious loser. Trust me, I realize I am posting on the topic – however, my hobby is golf, so I follow and comment when I see things worth commenting. I am golf fan. On the other hand, this guy is not a golf fan. He is a yeast infection.

      • Stevo

        Sep 30, 2016 at 4:07 am

        How is he not a golf fan?

        • Bill

          Sep 30, 2016 at 4:29 pm

          Because he opened his filthly british mouth at a time when his brother and the rest of the europeans like to operate like quiet professionals. Like I said, he is a yeast infection. If he was a golf fan he would have never opened his trap.

          • Stevo

            Sep 30, 2016 at 11:19 pm

            That doesn’t even go close to answering the question. You cannot possibly deduce that he isn’t a golf fan from one post about golf. Ridiculous.

            • Bill

              Oct 1, 2016 at 1:50 pm

              Everyone knows golf is a game of history, character and integrity. In my opinion, to be a true fan of the game requires one to be respectful of it. He is close enough to the game and should know better. You don’t want to put a target on the back of anyone – more so your brother or Ryder Cup team.

              I am happy to bring to light some of the layers of the golf game and its culture. Its ok not to understand Stevo.

                Nice attempt to spin things with you faux concern about Danny. Equally impressive effort at being patronising. However, In case you missed it he is actually making fun of some idiot Americans how have zero understanding of the history, character and integrity of the game. You know, the clowns that yell out “baba booey”, “mashed potato” etc. That is all the evidence that we have in front of us. The rest is you projecting your own opinions and insecurity. Hard to argue based on the evidence that PJ is out of touch. He has a pretty good radar for pointing out the sort of behaviour they doesn’t reflect the history, character and integrity of golf.

                • Bill

                  Oct 1, 2016 at 2:34 pm

                  I will be the first to admit his post was very accurate and funny.

                  But you basically agree with me by saying “Hard to argue based on the evidence that PJ is out of touch. He has a pretty good radar for pointing out the sort of behaviour they doesn’t reflect the history, character and integrity of golf.”

                  He pointed out poor golf fans and idiotic American behavior but did it at the expense of himself and his brother who was getting ready to play in the RYDER CUP. He got on the soapbox talking about idiots and then became the biggest idiot of all. We can agree to disagree. He is a funny moron who I care not to talk about anymore.

                  Agree with this. Hard to argue that PJ is not a golf fan. I see that Bill couldn’t and has now just resorted to calling him an idiot.

                  Oct 1, 2016 at 4:00 pm

                  Based on this definition you are right. He is a fan. But he is an enthusiastic devotee of a golf fan that no professional golfer would want as a brother.

                  i shouldn’t speak for Danny or all professional golfers even when speaking hypothetical. I still stand by my opinion of what makes a ‘true golf fan’. When you are a fan you protect it. Not spread yeast infection on it.

                  Oct 2, 2016 at 4:12 am

                  Good to see you have seen the light Bill! Fully respect your right to refer to PJ as a ‘yeast infection’. However, give me PJ any day over the absolute neandarthal, degenerate, chromosome missing imbeciles in the crowd at the Ryder Cup at the moment. I don’t get why they need to yell out random food items every time someone hits but it is an embarrassment. It is making it borderline unwatchable.

                  Give it a rest Bill. I don’t understand why you continue to give a guy who (rightfully) commented on a bunch of absolute degenerates attitude. Ever stopped to think that the shouty cretins that are turning Golf into an embarrassment might have a little more to answer for?

I don’t take offense to this dudes statements b/c he’s throwing his own brother under a bus. Or maybe he’s doing this b/c Danny didn’t share any of that Southern “Trump” crowd earnings Major Tourney winning w/ him!

    To give the man the benefit of the doubt, we did all learn that he has quite the sense of humor after the masters.. I do believe there is a strong possibility it’s been lost in translation between the interview and the context in which his words have been used. If he’s dead serious, then he’s a d**k head. Makes me feel kinda bad for Danny.

    To anyone that’s getting down on the American’s for being upset.. that’s not really fair. We aren’t allowed to have a sense of humor anymore, or say anything that might even resemble a mean comment or else we end up on the news or something. I hope PJ is kidding, and if he isn’t, I hope he’s there Sunday so I can personally witness this train wreck in the making. If someone else doesn’t take care of him, his brother might have to do it himself once PJ ruins his career.

    Sep 29, 2016 at 8:11 am

    PJ’s [full] article is a work of genius. Broad minded Europeans get to act embarrassed, broad minded Americans get to demonstrate that they understand irony after all, and internet journos can show that they can clip an article or comment to manufacture maximum faux-outrage. Something for everyone!

    He’s got nerve to post something like that serious or not during a time when the US is going through so much negatively and uncertainty. In addition at a time when a Legend of golf has passed and being honored by both Americans and Europeans at the Ryder Cup and Worldwide. His brother Danny (class act) should be ashamed of him & publicly set him straight. The Ryder Cup has become an amazing atmosphere and extremely intense but at the end of the day and after last putt it should be respectful win or lose. Go USA!!!

The only thing you didn’t count on is how PC we are over here..everybody’s decided that you “went too far”. Satire is only satire if the PC police decides that it is. Too bad, Danny’s a good guy but there’s going to be lots of those “baba-booeys” at the top of his backswing this week, which will make your point.

    Go figure that a Brit would use someone’s shiny teeth as a dig. Truth is, most Europeans wish they were American. They vacation here, they go to school here, and like most of team Europe, they live here. So they can hate on us all they want, but who are they going to come crying to when they need help in a war or financially? Yeah you might beat us on the golf course, but everyone knows who is best.

Tour Rundown: Bend, but don’t break

Published

on

I’m going to gush in this intro paragraph, to get the emo stuff done early. I’ve not pulled harder for a professional to win, than Cameron Young. I coach golf in New York state, and each spring, my best golfers head to a state championship in Poughkeepsie. I first saw Cameron there as a 9th grade student. I saw him three more times after that. I reconnecected with Coach Haas from Wake Forest, an old interview subject from my days on the Old Gold and Black, the Wake newspaper. He was there to watch Cameron. After four years at Wake Forest, Young won on the Korn Ferry Tour, made it to the big tour, almost won two majors, almost won five other events, and finally got the chalice about 25 minutes from the Wake campus. Congratulations, Cameron. You truly are a glass of the finest. #MotherSoDear

OK, let’s move on to the Tour Rundown. The major championship season closed this week in Wales, with the Women’s Open championship. The PGA Tour bounced through Greensboror, N.C., while the PGA Tour Americas hit TO (aka, Toronto) for a long-winded event. The Korn Ferry lads made a stop in Utah, one of just two events for that tour in August. The many-events, golf season is winding down, as we ease from summer toward fall in the northern hemisphere. Let’s bask in the glory of an August sunrise, and run down a quartet of events from the first weekend of the eighth month.

LET/LPGA @ Women’s Open: Miyu bends, but she doesn’t break

Royal Porthcawl was not a known commodity in the major tournament community. The Welsh links had served as host to men’s senior opens, men’s amateurs, and Curtis and Walker Cups in prior years, but never an Open championship for the women or the men. The last-kept secret in UK golf was revealed once again to the world this week, as the best female golfers took to the sandy stage.

Mao Saigo, Grace Kim, Maja Stark, and Minjee Lee hoped to add a second major title to previous wins this season, but only Lee was able to finish inside the top ten. The 2025 playing of the Women’s Open gave us a new-faces gallery from day one. The Kordas and Thitikulls were nowhere to be found, and it was the Mayashitas, Katsus, and Lim Kims that secured the Cymru spotlight. The first round lead was held at 67 by two golfers. One of them battled to the end, while the other posted 81 on day two, and missed the cut. Sitting one shot behind was Miyu Yamashita.

On day two, Yamashita posted the round of the tournament. Her 65 moved her to the front of the aisle, in just her fourth turn around a women’s Open championship. With the pre-event favorites drifting off pace, followers narrowed into two camps: those on the side of an underdog, and others hoping for a weekend charge from back in the pack. In the end, we had a bit of both.

On Saturday, Yamashita bent with 74 on Saturday, offering rays of hope to her pursuing pack. England’s Charley Hull made a run on Sunday closing within one shot before tailing off to a T2 finish with Minami Katsu. Katsu posted the other 65 of the week, on Saturday, but could not overtake her countrywoman, Yamashita. wunderkind Lottie Woad needed one round in the 60s to find her pace, but could only must close-to’s, ending on 284 and a tie with Minjee for eighth.

On Sunday, Yamashita put away the thoughts of Saturday’s struggles, with three-under 33 on the outward half. She closed in plus-one 37, but still won by two, for a first Major and LPGA title.

PGA Tour @ Wyndham: Young gathers first title near home

Cameron Young grew up along the Hudson river, above metro New York, but he also calls Winston-Salem home. He spent four years as a student and athlete at Wake Forest University, then embarked on tour. This week in Greensboro, after a bit of a break, Young opened with 63-62, and revved the engine of Is this the week once more. Runner-up finishes at the Open, the PGA, and a handful of PGA Tour events had followers wonder when the day would come.

On Saturday, Young continued his torrid pace with 65, giving him a five-shot advantage over his closest pursuer. Sunday saw the Scarborough native open with bogey, then reel off five consecutive birdies to remind folks that his time had, at last, arrived. Pars to the 16th, before two harmless bogeys coming home, made Young the 1000th winner of an official PGA Tour event (dating back to before there was a PGA Tour) throughout history. What’s next? I have a suspicion, but I’m not letting on. Mac Meissner closed with 66 to finish solo 2nd, while Mark Hubbard and Alex Noren tied for third.

Korn Ferry Tour @ Utah Championship: Are you Suri it’s Julian?

Who knows exactly when the flower will bloom? Julian Suri played a solid careet at Duke University, then paid his dues on the world’s minor tours for three years. He won twice on two tours in Europe, in 2017. Since then, the grind has continued for the journeyman from New York city. At age 34, Suri broke through in Beehive state, outlasting another grinder (Spencer Levin) and four others, by two shots.

Taylor Montgomery began the week with 62, then posted 64, then 68, and finally, 70. That final round was his undoing. He finished in that second-place tie, two back of the leader. Trace Crowe, Barend Botha, and Kensei Hirata made up the last of the almost quintet. As for Suri, his Sunday play was sublime. His nines were 32 and 31, with his only radar blip a bogey at ten. He closed in style with one final birdie, to double his winning margin. Hogan bloomed late…might Suri?

PGA Tour Americas @ Osprey Valley Open presented by Votorantim Cimentos – CBM Aggregates

Some tournament names run longer than others. This week in Toronto, at the Heathlands course at TPC Toronto, we might have seen the longest tournament title in recorded history. The OVOPBVCCBMA was a splendid affair. It saw three rounds of 62 on Thursday, but of those early risers, only Drew Goodman would stick around until the end. 64 was the low tally on day two, and two of those legionnaires managed to finish inside the top three at week’s end. Saturday brought a 63 from Patrick Newcomb, and he would follow with 64 on Sunday, to finish solo fourth.

Who, then, ended up winning the acronym of the year? It turns out that Carson Bacha had the right stuff in TeeOhhh. Bacha and Jay Card III posted 63 and 64, respectively, on day four, to tie for medalist honors at 23-under 261. Nathan Franks was one shot adrift, despite also closing with 63. If you didn’t go low on Sunday, it was about the check, not the championship.

Bacha and JC3 returned to the 18th hole twice in overtime. Card nearly chipped in from the thick stuff for birdie, while Bacha peeked and shoved a ten-feet attempt at the win. On the second go-round, Card was long with his approach, into the native grasses once more. He was unable to escape, and a routine par from the fairway was enough to earn the former Auburn golfers a first KFT title.
