My Take

What grabs me about Danny Willett is the quiet improbability of his 2016 Masters win. A lad from Sheffield, sharpened at an American university, walked into Augusta and became only the second Englishman ever to slip on the green jacket, ending Europe's 17-year drought there. He's never been a flashy, headline-hungry star, and I think that's exactly why I rate him. He grinds, he stays composed, and he produces under the heaviest pressure golf can throw at you. I respect the craftsman type far more than the showman, and Willett is craftsmanship in spikes.

Overview

Daniel John Willett (born 3 October 1987) is an English professional golfer who plays on the European Tour. In April 2016, he won his first major championship at the 2016 Masters Tournament, becoming only the second Englishman to achieve the feat and the first European in 17 years to win at Augusta National.
