The Night Danny Willett’s Brother Broke Twitter

Danny Willett’s brother almost broke Twitter last night with a series of hilarious tweets that documented the dramatic end to the 2016 Augusta Masters.

The author, teacher and self proclaimed “inexperienced father” took to social media during the final stages of the tournament to spur his brother on as he attempted to become only the second Englishman to win the Masters.

At one point it looked as though there was little hope for the Yorkshireman, but a Jordan Spieth meltdown on the 12th hole changed all that.

The American was well clear after the first nine, but two bogeys and a quadruple-bogey 7 at 12 put Willett in front.

The excitement was all too much for Willett’s brother.

Who was quick to shout about his new claim to fame.

Although he wasn’t short of brotherly advice.

After a bottle of bubbly and passion fruit liqueur, the tweets started to get a little emotional.

Before it was back to reality for the teacher.
