The Field Is Looking Very English

The English golfer Danny Willett had a two-shot lead over Jon Rahm, the young Spanish sensation, as they approached the 18th tee in the final round of last year’s BMW P.G.A. Championship.

In the distance, Willett could see the massive grandstand ringing the green about 500 yards away. The seats were packed with fans who were cheering on their countryman at the Rolex Series tournament at the Wentworth Club in Virginia Water, England.

Under that pressure, Willett hit a drive down the fairway, and with 225 yards left he hit a 5-iron safely on to the green.
