What an incredible Masters that was.
Danny Willett capitalised on Jordan Spieth’s meltdown at the 12th hole to clinch the US Masters and pick up his first major win.
In one of the most remarkable Masters in history, Willett finished on -5 to win the legendary green jacket by three shots.
It has been a remarkable few weeks for the Sheffield native, who was initially not scheduled to play in Augusta at all, due to his wife giving birth.
💚 the Danny Willett story..wife's birthday plus son's due date today, only playing as he was born early & he's about to win the green jacket

Yet, Willett’s fantastic round of 67 helped secure the ultimate prize, with the man himself, and his caddie, celebrating in style.

It’s fair to say that a lot of people in out of the game were absolutely thrilled for the 28-year-old.
Congratulations, @Danny_Willett pic.twitter.com/0mL9iMWsp3

However, nobody lived the moment like Willett’s brother PJ, who has become something of an Internet star following a series of hilarious tweets during and after the final round.
Take a look.
The tension.
Spieth is lining up his putt. If I'm quick I can get a beer, go to the toilet, and paint the spare room b4 he hits it.#TheMasters #bbcgolf

There's a fat woman legging it around my house singing. I'm cracking open the passion fruit liqueur.
