‘I Was Lost to Delirium’: 2023 Ryder Cup’s Spotlight Thief’ ‘Colonel Sanders’ Sets Eyes on $32.95B Giants for a Bizarre Collaboration

This year’s Ryder Cup was full of happening events and exciting terrors. Team Europe was the one to bring glory home this year, whereas Team America suffered a sad defeat. In addition to this, the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club Course saw a bizarre event take place on its greens.

A Scottish fan made an unexpected move. A video of him recently went viral. He was seen making a victory dive into a pond on the sixteenth hole at the famous course. After his stint in the spotlight, he made a statement involving the $32.95 billion giant, KFC.

A Scottish fan pulls a stunt at the prestigious international face-off

The Ryder Cup is one of the most prestigious occasions in the golfing community. In the recent edition of this biennial event, a Scottish fan stole the show with his bizarre act. The fan was named John Burleigh.

Interestingly enough, Burleigh’s look happens to resemble the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Colonel Sanders. Fans gave John the nickname “Colonel Sanders” due to this remarkable resemblance. But what exactly was the bizarre act he committed? Well, John “Colonel Sanders” Burleigh took a dive in the pond on the sixteenth hole and later hoped for a collaboration with KFC.

The Scottish fan in the spotlight, John Burleigh, said, “The sun got to me and I was lost to delirium… So long as KFC calls me up with an offer, I’ll be quite happy.” 

Whether KFC will call this Colonel Sanders lookalike or not remains a mystery to all of us. However, one thing that has cleared up is the level of confidence Burleigh carries. His interesting act was surely an unexpected show-stealer at the 2023 Ryder Cup. Only time will tell if there is something in the charts for this Scottish golf lover; however, his antics were big enough to even draw attention away from the big fight!
