Golf-Willett should be left out until Sunday - Jacklin (Reuters)

CHASKA, Minnesota, Sept 29 (Reuters) - If it was down to Tony Jacklin, Europe's most decorated Ryder Cup captain, Danny Willett would not play in this week's matches against the United States until Sunday's final-day singles.

The 72-year-old Englishman, described by ESPN this week as the man who saved the Ryder Cup in the 1980s, said the Willett incident that blew up earlier this week was "a mess".

The Masters champion's debut appearance in the biennial team event came under the spotlight when his brother Pete made critical comments about the home galleries at Hazeltine National.
