Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston demanded a Twitter poll from Talksport duo ‘The Two Mikes’ be taken down after it asked whether he was a ‘clown’ or an ‘inspiration’.
It is believed one of the show’s hosts, Mike Parry, called Beef a ‘clown’ on air, prompting the Twitter poll which asked: “Is @BeefGolf an inspiration to young golfers or a clown as @mikeparry8 claims #TheOpen”.
In shamelessly tagging Beef, the Englishman obviously saw it and responded by calling Parry ‘a sad person’ and a ‘d*******’. Just hours earlier, Beef had carded a three-under-par 67 in the third round of the Open to sit inside the top 20 going into the final day.
Is @BeefGolf an inspiration to young golfers or a clown as @mikeparry8 claims #TheOpen

Beef then got involved in a bit of back-and-forth with Parry.

What a stupid poll that is. A young man who is playing some amazing golf and inspiring young kids is a role model. Leave the station please.
