  • US Ryder Cup captain filmed giving a locker room speech
  • ‘I meant no disrespect, I was more speaking to our guys’

It transpires the viral moment of ­Netflix’s latest series on golf may have been as much of a surprise to the main protagonist as those looking on.

The assertion of Keegan Bradley, the US Ryder Cup captain, during Full Swing that his contingent are “gonna go to Bethpage to kick their fucking ass” in September immediately looked like golden material for Europe’s locker room.
