Tournament – The Masters
7th – 10th April 2016

Danny Willett won his first Major Championship as he held off the challenge of Lee Westwood and defending champion Jordan Spieth in a dramatic final round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National. Danny’s final round of 67 was the equal best of the day. What a most remarkable 12 days of his life as he followed up becoming a father for the first time with winning a Green Jacket at the Masters Tournament.

“You talk about fate, you talk about everything else that goes with it. It’s just been a crazy, crazy week” – Danny Willett

How about a lifetime exemption into the Masters Tournament! Priceless…
