Feel free to move if not in the right area, but it's great to see a Sheffield sportsperson doing well. Danny Willett has just come from nowhere to beat the best golfers in the world, and become the Masters champion at Augusta.

 

Congratulations to him, seems a nice bloke too!

Great stuff and what a fine achievement by Danny.

Another name to add to the growing list of local sporting success stories that includes Jessica Ennis and Joe Root.

So proud of this lad from Sheffield ! What a beautiful golf course and wonderful weather. My sister is lucky enough to live in Georgia, a few miles away from the course!

[Lex Luthor]

Fantastic achievement and great for Sheffield. Well done, lad.

So the winner of the golf is born in Sheffield and lives in Rovrum, which is next door, and the runner-up from Worksop, which is almost next door.

 

I claim the Masters in the name of Sheffield! Incredible turnaround yesterday.

Well done to Danny who honed his golf at my old club Bondhay----so Augusta would be a steady knock after Bondhay-well done again also to Matt Fitzpatrick and Lee Westwood and the other 2 English golfers making it 5 Brits out of the top 10

Great viewing and well done Danny Willet,or should I say Spieth blew it.
