Lee Westwood taunts Rory McIlroy about being ‘half Danish’
By Stuart McKinley
Monday, 19 September 2011
Rory McIlroy was last night involved in a furious Twitter row with fellow golfer Lee Westwood — who accused the Ulsterman of being “half Danish”.
McIlroy — who last week brought his new girlfriend, Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, home to Co Down to meet his parents — hit back by telling Westwood: “at least I’m not English.”
The row between the pair, who were Ryder Cup team-mates when Europe won the competition a year ago, kicked off over McIlroy’s absence from the Great Britain & Ireland team, which beat continental Europe to win the Seve Trophy yesterday.
McIlroy had claimed he was supporting the European team.
The US Open champion opened with: “Is it wrong that I'm enjoying this European comeback in the Seve trophy??” and later added: “never cheered for (Danish golf star) Thomas Bjorn as much as I did today!”
Westwood hit back at McIlroy via a message which was directed to Chubby Chandler — who runs the management company that looks after both players.
Westwood said: “thanks chubb. Rory’s disappointed! Apparently he's half Danish now!”
He followed that up by baiting McIlroy with: “At least you made a choice on this one! What shall I be? Irish/British? British/Irish? Confused!”
To which McIlroy replied: “At least I’m not English.”
McIlroy’s former girlfriend Holly Sweeney had her say too. In a message sent to both parties she said: “handbags at Dawn!”
Instead of being in Paris, McIlroy was at Old Trafford yesterday where he watched Manchester United defeat Chelsea 3-1 to open up a two-point lead in the Premier League.
In July, McIlroy launched an attack on BBC commentator Jay Townsend, himself a former professional, following the first round of the Irish Open.
Townsend criticised McIlroy’s course management and his caddy JP Fitzgerald, to which he said: “Shut up ... you’re a commentator and a failed golfer, your opinion means nothing!”
Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

Its good to see that Poulter is back focusing on his golf rather than overseeing his new built house and his clothes range. I think the Ryder cup helped him to get his focus back.
I was up watching it early this morning, Poults hit a great 65 to win by 2 from Els, Michelson, Piercy and Westwood who slumped from a 61 yesterday to a level par 72 today
