Nope, I'm pretty happy with Willett. Hasn't hit many loose shots over the week, has played some tight golf and putted seriously well.

You picked me up wrong,I was replying to Skydog,I love his patiotism but there are patriots all over the world.I am ecstatic that Willet has won this ,for me,the best part of the Masters is that Spieth didn't run away with it.

I realize a big part of why it annoys me is that a disproportionate amount of TV coverage is taken up with his ridiculously slow play, depriving us of the opportunity of seeing lots of other golf.  CBS deserves a lot of blame.

Ian Baker Finch - the iPhone doesn't have a screensaver, it's a background image.

My poor formatting - I was agreeing with you to whoever's comment you'd replied to!

Good point there.

Congratulations Danny!!!

Also, the camera in the face of Willett when he's trying to contact his wife is poor form. Give the man a little space...

Smylie made a birdie earlier today at #2 along with Jordan.  Then he made only one more birdie, at #12, where Jordan didn't make a birdie. 

[Scotsclaff]

WELL DONE DANNY!!!

I think he is happy he was able to tee it up this week!  Great Sunday round and well deserved Green Jacket.

Oh, I would guess he's a good kid, and I understand it's mostly the media's fault that I'm not a fan of his, but the media has made tons of people fans of him, moreso than turned people off from him like me, so, I'm ok with not liking him.

You make a good point.

Had CBS, TGC, etc. not force fed and been so over the top with him since in and around when he won the John Deere, it might not bug me.

But it does.

And his slow play bugs me, too. 

They probably did exactly the same thing with Tiger's & Rory's wins at a young age too. It's rare for really young golfers to win Majors.

Oh sure, now Jordan has a perfect drive on #18.

Willett realized he was on national tv I think when he looked at the screen while the AGNC official was to his right.

Yeah, he did look kind of foolish trademarking Immelmania.  

Waiiiit did this really happen...

[skydog]

Bad outcome for golf.  Shame

[pumaAttack]

Glad an Englishman won it!  It had been too long.  Awesome opening to the 2016 Major season.

No.  This was one of his "top 10 things I'd like to say" comments on Letterman the next day.  But it was more like "Now I don't look so foolish for trademarking Immelmania."

If you haven't already done so, check out (probably on YouTube) Geoff Ogilvy, Immelman, and Z. Johnson's Letterman top-10s after their first respective major wins.
