Danny Willett has had a bumpy ride on the golf course since his surprise victory at the Masters last year, but the Englishman reckons he will be all smiles when he returns next month to defend the green jacket. A celebratory period after his surge to victory past a floundering Jordan Spieth, enjoying life at home with his baby boy and handling expectations after claiming his maiden major all took a toll on his game. “I had some up‑and‑downs in the last 12 months,” Willett, who has yet to win since his Masters triumph, told a conference call on Tuesday from Bay Hill, where he is playing in this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational.
