Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler bare chests, don Ryder Cup kilts and wigs

Bubba Watson and Rickie Fowler were so devastated by Sunday’s blowout Ryder Cup loss to the Europeans that one-half of the Golf Boys foursome stripped off their red, white, and blue Ryder Cup outfits and replaced them with traditional Scottish kilts and the seemingly less-traditional gaudy wigs and bare chests.

The fourth member of golf’s version of the Beatles, Ben Crane, was not invited to Scotland for the time-honored biennial decimation of the U.S. by Europe. In his stead, fellow crooner Hunter Mahan (1-2-1 at Gleneagles) snapped the amusing photo of Bubba (0-3-0) and his fun-loving mate after the 16.5-11.5 dismantling of the Tom Watson Twelve by Paul McGinley’s squad and presumably following the Americans’ fractious press conference.

Someone with a wee bit more reason to celebrate on Sunday was Rory McIlroy, who may have seen the photo from the U.S. team room and decided to tweak Bubba and the flat-billed golfer he gutted to the tune of 5 and 4 in Sunday’s singles.
