Loved this description of Wisconsin sports fans by UK paper Daily Express – as read by Steve Curry on Sky Sports News

WISCONSIN, the backwater setting for the US PGA Championship, has a reputation for sporting eccentricity.

The fans of the Green Bay Packers, 47,000 of whom watched the state’s American  football team train one evening last week, take pride in wearing cheeses on their heads.

Meanwhile the Milwaukee Braves’ home baseball games are routinely interrupted by an It’s a Knockout-style sprint between five giant sausages.

So yesterday’s opening plot line for the season’s final golf Major at Whistling Straits would have appealed to the delighted, deranged locals.

lol@ “routinely interrupted” – some might say it’s the baseball game that routinely interrupts the sausage race!
