Agreed, IMHO it's an insulting and very poor article, but I doubt that the Americans will get fired up by it, I expect that they'll just dismiss it as a piece of crass, immature writing by an attention seeker.

Blimey - that's a bit of an article
Whilst it's prob over the top - how close to the mark is it though ,
We have all complained about the US fans and their "shouting" and hot dog style supporting whilst watching the Ryder Cup and indeed other US events
So while I don't agree with the timing and certainly not with the crass way it's been put across I agree with the sentiment in regards the cross examination of a section of the US support.

I'm in the US just now and believe me it's not been dismissed, well not by the media at least. It's been discussed at DC's press conference and by the panel on the golf channel who suggested people should read it.

I don't think the US team will make anything of it other than more motivation - if they needed any - to give us a spanking.
The spectators is another story, and it will fire them up something rotten.

Big talking point on Sky Sports News just now, thankfully Clarke and Willett expressed their anger and came across very well.
Davis Love also distanced himself from it.

Jeepers, that's a shocking article. I can't believe that was let through. That's something you'd expect to see in The Sun.

Totally agree. Expect to see Willett getting boos and big cheers when he hits bad shots. Neither the fans or the US team needed firing up and this will not help the European cause. Bet Willett will be having serious words with his brother behind the scenes

Take away the pathetic personal insults and a lot of of what he said we have all moaned about. Are American spectators ideal spectators? We all know the answer to that.
so here we are the week before the Ryder cup and a magazine prints an article that can only help fire up the yanks. At which point did the editor think.
1, Can we come out of this looking good.
2, will Danny Willet want to talk to us in the future.
3, will this help the European cause.
4, Do we give a toss.
never bought the mag before and cannot see I ever will. Trying to work out who is the biggest idiot, Danny's bro or the editor. At the very least I would expect the magazines owners to drag in the editor and ask him some serious questions re what goes into future editions as a " gutter standard" has been set. Would also expect Danny to come in for special "monty Treatment" now.

Just read the "article" in question and whilst I believe it is written with tongue firmly in cheek, it is very poor timing and very very poorly phrased. As someone else points out, we all know the fans he is referring to, the "get in the hole/mashed potato" crowd, but to call them the names he does on the eve of the Ryder Cup when you're brother is playing in it is at best naïve, at worst crass beyond compare. He needs to get himself in front of a camera, apologise and eat humble pie asap. The only one coming out of this looking like a "classless *******" is Pete Willett.

I thought the article was quite amusing despite the crude, vociferous staging. Expect incendiary crowd now, though

I think Willett's bro has given the US and the fans all the motivation they needed! I can't imagine what goes on in somebody's head to do it other than a desperate claim for their own fame.
Not quite as incendiary, but there's an interesting statsy article challenging why the US are favourites for this one. Makes for some interesting reading: http://www.thestatszone.com/articles/should-usa-really-be-favourites-for-2016-ryder-cup

Im going for a European win and a comfortable one also.
USA under too much pressure from media,fans etc to finally win.
Sometimes having a home advantage with all the pressure has an adverse effect.

Tongue in cheek or not, you can't just slag a whole nation off then put a smiley after it and expect things to be ok.

I can't see it Tony. The USA are overdue a win and I think it will come this week. Hope I'm wrong though

It's called humour.
The last few sentences went over the top but I thought it was quite funny. I fully trust SSN to make a massive story out of it like they do best.
Some fella called Bill from Golf Monthly was on Radio 5 this morning but I was in a bad reception area so missed some of it, he didn't seem impressed
