English champion whose stunning 2016 Masters victory shocked the golfing world, allowing Europe to retain the Green Jacket just weeks after Rory McIlroy's late heartbreak in the same tournament.
Danny Willett became only the second English golfer to win the Masters when he triumphed at Augusta in 2016, memorably helped by Jordan Spieth's famous collapse at the 12th hole. His victory came after a week when his brother published an ill-timed anti-American Ryder Cup article, making the aftermath complicated. Nevertheless, Willett's Masters victory — achieved with a composed final round — is a landmark for English golf.
