Danny Willetts brother has defended his controversial comments about American Ryder Cup fans, although he admits the timing of his article was atrocious. School teacher Peter Willett penned a column for National Club Golfer magazine which described American fans as a braying mob of imbeciles, basement-dwelling irritants and cretins.The article was published on the eve of the Ryder Cup at Hazeltine, where Europe suffered a 17-11 defeat which was marred by heckling from some American fans towards members of the European team. I need to hold my hands up, Peter Willett wrote in a column for the Daily Telegraph. In hindsight, the timing was atrocious. I wrote the piece over a number of evenings with a big push on the pre-Ryder Cup weekend. Then the unimaginable happened. Captain Darren Clarke of Europe drives Willett in a cart during practice According to Peter, the unimaginable was the reaction to his article, which he felt was caused by inaccurate reporting, including headlines such as PJ Willett brands ALL Americans imbeciles in crazy rant.To anyone who reads my piece in full, with a modicum of intelligence or a desire to report news rather than fabricate it, two things are clear, he adds. Firstly, my rant was not a criticism of ALL Americans, but a satirical jab against a very select group of individuals who are wholly deserving of ridicule - those that scream Baba booey, belt out Mashed Potato, and bellow Get in the Hole. These were the only imbeciles to which I was referring.Secondly, my penultimate paragraph makes explicitly clear how far I had lodged my tongue into my cheek, but the media deliberately missed this section of text, so Ill include it again: Lee Westwood and Willett during the fourballs During my 33 years as an avid sports watcher, I have never cared more about the result of a single event. I am desperate for a win. Such desperation can lead to puerile outbursts. A more immature mind than mine might resort to petty insults or unflattering generalisations.IT WAS A JOKE. Like the Cheeseburger-screaming simpletons, I also couldnt control myself during Ryder Cup week. I was highlighting my own immaturity because I used petty insults and unflattering generalisations in my puerile outburst. Willett initially apologised for his brothers controversial article Danny Willett, who did not win a point from this three matches, initially apologised for the article, but in the aftermath of Europes first defeat since 2008 the Masters champion wrote on Twitter: Very strange week here at the Ryder cup.. Tried my best but played poorly. Unfortunately some american fans showed that @P--J--Willett was In fact correct..Nothing to blame my bad play on.. But still shows that sometimes fans dont know when to call it a day.. Shame really!! Also See: EuropeanTour Schedule Watch online Golf live on Sky Sports 4 Free HD Golf Game Stitched Soccer Jerseys .

The R&A announced Monday that golfs oldest championship will return to Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland for the first time since Max Faulkner won in 1951.INDIANAPOLIS - Roy Hibbert and the Indiana Pacers rediscovered their winning formula.Hibbert scored eight of his 18 points during a game-changing run at the start of the second half, and Indianas struggling offence got back in sync with a 103-82 rout over the New York Knicks on Thursday night.I was just trying to execute and just play with a lot of energy, Hibbert said.After losing eight of their previous nine, a stretch in which the Pacers (17-31) lacked offensive rhythm, they methodically fought back from an early double-digit deficit. And thanks largely to Hibbert, poured it on in the second half for their most lopsided home win of the season.Hibbert finished 9 of 11 from the field with 10 rebounds. Rodney Stuckey led Indiana with 22 points, and David West had 10 points, six rebounds and six assists. The Pacers also had a 50-26 scoring edge in the paint — numbers that resembled the ones they posted during two consecutive post-season runs to the Eastern Conference finals.But, of course, the dreadful Knicks (9-38) helped them out.Carmelo Anthony finished with 18 points after scoring 12 in the first nine minutes. Only two of his teammates reached double figures: Lou Amundson with 17 and Tim Hardaway Jr. with 11.On paper, it was an even uglier. New York made just 14 of 42 shots in the second half, was outscored 35-12 in the decisive third quarter, finished with 33 second-half points and fell behind Philadelphia for the worst record in the East.Indiana, as the game went on, they started to play better and do the things that they do well, coach Derek Fisher said. We didnt have enough to keep up with that.It sure didnt look like it would go this way when Anthonys early scoring flurry gave the Knicks a 27-16 lead.But the Pacers rallied with Anthony went on the bench. They turned the game with a 10-2 run midway through the second quarter, capping it with Hibberts 10-foot hook shot for a 44-39 lead.Hibbert then opened the seccond half propelling the Pacers to a 10-2 spurt, giving the Pacers a 64-51 lead with 9:35 left.dddddddddddd. New York never recovered, and the Pacers never backed off, pushing the lead to as much as 34 before coasting at the end.We wanted to establish David and Roy inside and those guys were able to get going, coach Frank Vogel said. We knocked down some 3-point shots, particularly in that third quarter, but a lot of them were set up from Roy and David getting going inside___TIP-INSKnicks: New Yorks third-quarter collapse was another bleak chapter in the Knicks season-long odyssey. The Knicks were 4 of 19 from the field during a 12-minute stretch in which no player made more than one basket. The loss also prevented New York from posting back-to-back wins for the third time this season.Pacers: Indianas injury woes are still mounting. As Paul George continues his recovery from a broken right leg, Vogel said Thursday that point guard C.J. Watson will probably spend the rest of the season playing through soreness in his feet. Swingman C.J. Miles was limited to just 13 minutes because of a strained left groin, and backup centre Lavoy Allen limped to the locker room late in the first half with a sore right knee. Allen did not return. Vogel said Allen will be re-evaluated Friday.ON THE REBOUND.The Pacers didnt just win the scoring battle inside, they also outrebounded the Knicks 49-33. And after starting 7 of 17 from the field, Indiana finished the game by going 35 of 62 (56.5 per cent) over the final three quarters.FIGHTING MADThough the Knicks got knocked down late in the second quarter and knocked out late in the third, Fisher insisted his team played hard to the end. Hardaway was even more emphatic. No, the team didnt quit, Hardaway said. I dont know why you would say that. We didnt quit at all. They were just making shots and we werent.UP NEXTKnicks: Hosts Lakers on Sunday.Pacers: Host Kings on Saturday. ' ' '
