Graeme McDowell bids for coveted @GMac Twitter name

Golfer Graeme McDowell has made a surprise offer to snap up the coveted @gmac Twitter name from a Scotsman with just 86 followers.

The Major-winning sports star, 37, who has some 750,000 Twitter followers, approached @gmac (aka Graeme MacLachlan) from Glasgow this week looking to bag his namesake account.

“@gmac, would love to talk re grabbing this handle from you. Any interest?” the Irish golfer tweeted the Scotsman.
