The best, worst and most absurd things from golf’s four majors

Danny Willett’s golf may’ve suffered in the 18 months since his Masters win, but his candor hasn’t. A player blog authored by Willett appeared on the European Tour’s website Wednesday, with the post being Willett’s in-depth look at his own struggles since capturing the Green Jacket in 2016. Willett writes at length (and we mean AT LENGTH), but then again there has been a lot going on since his first major title. The Englishman has yet to win since, changed swing coaches and developed back issues. Willett was in contention last month at the Portugal Masters, only to finish T-68. Willett hasn’t had a top-50 finish since March and has missed the cut or withdrawn in eight of his last 13 starts. So

The British Open champion enjoyed his “best putting day ever” which he capped off by sinking a 45-foot birdie at the difficult par-four 18th at Bay Hill in Orlando. The usually low-key Italian raised his arm in the air to hail his final putt, the longest he has holed on the PGA Tour this year. Molinari posted a 12-under 276 total and, after a two-hour wait in the clubhouse, celebrated his third PGA Tour victory when none of the overnight frontrunners could match his total.
