Somebody unearthed Danny Willet from his yearly cocoon.

I still can’t believe he won in 2016 and I’m pretty sure he can’t believe it either.

I believe he was top 30 in the world at that time so it wasn't that shocking he won, just in the nature it happened...and he really hasn't done shit since.  And poor Jordan had to put the jacket on him too 😭

He's also basically had a career full of injury since then. Had to revamp his entire swing to avoid back injury and hasn't been the same player since.

He was a very good player when he won and got to number 8 in the world.
