Europe are hoping to avoid a fan backlash after THOSE comments by Danny Willett's brother

Masters champion Danny Willett hopes his apology can draw a line under the controversy caused by an article written by his brother which describes American Ryder Cup fans as a ''braying mob of imbeciles.''

School teacher Peter Willett penned a column for National Club Golfer magazine and offered his forthright opinions on what each side needs to do to secure victory at Hazeltine.
