The match itself might still be seven months away but the Ryder Cup sparring is already in full flow.
After Ian Poulter branded Paul Azinger’s remarks about the European Tour “embarrassing” – you can get the full story on that here – Thomas Bjorn, the man who masterminded Europe’s 2018 victory at Le Golf National in Paris, has also chimed in

Bjorn, 49, tweeted this today:

He was at best ignorant, at worst arrogant in delivering that.
