Golfer writes to Taoiseach over reported mimic

RYDER CUP winning golfer Philip Walton has written to Taoiseach Brian Cowen asking him to explain why he mimicked the sportsman at a now infamous boozy night with journalists and politicians.

In a statement released yesterday, Walton said he and his wife felt compelled to contact Brian Cowen after details of the skit appeared in newspapers and television reports.

“From what I have heard and read so far the stories are of concern to myself, my wife and also my children as they have seen reports on You Tube,” Walton said in a statement.
