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.
