Willett says time to end Augusta hangover

SPRINGFIELD, July 26 

Masters champion Danny Willett’s game has struggled since his unlikely win at Augusta National, but the Englishman says he is ready to get back on track at this week’s PGA Championship.

Since winning the green jacket in April for his first Major, the 28-year-old Willett has tied for 37th at the US Open, tied for 53rd at the British Open, missed the cut at the Players Championship and had some poor finishes on the European Tour.

“It’s settled down a bit now,” Willett said about his post-Masters euphoria and subsequent hangover. “We are trying to get back down to work and knuckle down because we have got a very important second half of the season coming up.” 

His upcoming stretch, which includes the Aug 5-21 Rio Olympics and Sept 27-Oct 2 Ryder Cup, starts with Thursday’s opening round of the PGA Championship at Baltusrol. — Reuters
