US Masters amazing turn of events

Not like me but this year I have sat for four nights watching the golf, not just because I was really interested but because I have had to sleep in a chair for the past week.  However, it has been facinating to watch, the course at Atlanta is just pristine and looks to be so difficult with greens as fast as billiard tables.   Turn up of events has been the monumental blunder by Jordan Speith, the three day leader who when so far in the lead dropped four shots and appeared to have been  blown right out of contention. But the good news for the UK is that Danny Willett, the Yorkshireman, who had been plodding along nicely came out of nowhere to win the event at 5 under.
The other remarkable incident during the final day was to to see three "holes in one " at the sixteenth hole, the last one being like a game of billiards with one ball playing off the other to go down the hole.
Thought that the camera operators were totally intrusive at one point, filming and listening to Willett while he was making a personal call home,  it was a good advert for Apple phones.
Anyway, well done, I wish home well, he is made now for the rest of his life.
