Pete Willett, writing for the website NationalClubGolfer.com, described American fans as “those fat, stupid, greedy, classless bastards.”

Another section under the sub-heading “Bastards” alluded to “the type of golfer that’s a vice-captain for Team USA.”

Calling US supporters a “baying mob of imbeciles” and “a giggling group of reprobates,” he added, “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.
