Lee Westwood has had enough of your crap.
The former world No. 1 took to Twitter around 1 a.m. ET on Monday to bite back at his critics -- in Internet parlance, "trolls" -- who sent him nasty 140-character messages after he closed with 6-over 76 at the 2013 PGA Championship to finish 13 shots behind winner Jason Dufner.
In fact, he laid into those critics for a full 3 hours after his week was done at Oak Hill. In a 50-tweet marathon, Westwood was profane, harsh, ironic and downright entertaining as he begged his critics to keep coming after him.
It all began when Westwood asked his followers to also follow Ian Baker-Finch's Twitter account, then quickly escalated into a reaction born out of frustration -- not with his performance, but with those who are so negative toward him.
We've edited out a few of the tweets that weren't a part of this run, but here is the full set of troll tweets from Westwood.
