Europe players can use Twitter at Ryder Cup, says Graeme McDowell

Graeme McDowell, who – like Ian Poulter – is a regular poster on Twitter, has clarified Colin Montgomerie's position after Europe's captain said he had asked his team not to use the social networking site. "Monty doesn't want to go banning Twitter," McDowell said. "We are all adults. It goes without saying that we are not going to say something that would unduly affect our team or give any strategy or secrets or tactics away. "He simply just said to us: 'You know, be sensible. Don't be saying anything stupid.' He trusts us obviously not to do anything too stupid out there. There's been some pretty famous mistakes made in Twitter in the past few months. We are not banned. But I don't think we'll be going crazy on it, either."
