He's Back! Peter Willett Explains His Column, Laments Timing

It's a bit all over the place but Peter Willett scores some decent make-up points in confessing his timing was poor and that he was pretty harshly targeted. I still don't quite grasp his approach to satire, however.

Willett, in a guest column for the Telegraph:

IT WAS A JOKE. Like the ‘Cheeseburger’-screaming simpletons, I also couldn’t control myself during Ryder Cup week. I was highlighting my own immaturity because I used petty insults and unflattering generalisations in my puerile outburst.

He also offers this, clearly after talking with his brother following Hazeltine:

But at Ryder Cups, certainly in America, we risk ruining the competition if we don’t endure it, or destroying the tournament’s reputation if it continues unchallenged. This is a dilemma far more worthy of discussion than my attempt at a joke - what to do with the classless b------s?
