As Danny Willett made an unexpected and entertaining charge to the top of the leaderboard en route to a Masters win, his brother, P.J. Willett, was providing entertainment of a different kind on Twitter.
If the boy does what he should, I will be able to say 'I've shared a bath with a Masters winners - brilliant#bbcgolf

When Danny Willett got to the final holes at Augusta, P.J.'s tweets took on a more urgent tone.
Just. Hit. The. Green... Please.#bbcgolf

Once Danny was in the clubhouse with the lead, the tweets took on a more celebratory tone, with P.J. even giving his brother a bit of fashion advice.
Green makes you look fat, refuse the jacket.#bbcgolf

Just downed in one. Work will understand. Behave yourself, Spieth.#bbcgolf pic.twitter.com/Dtcu0bzhVo

Then, with Jordan Spieth headed to 17 two shots back, P.J. Willett got into a wagering mood.
2 birdies from slowpoke and I'll eat my pants.#bbcgolf

Fortunately for P.J. -- and for those following him on Twitter -- no pants-eating was necessary, as Danny Willett became the second Englishman ever to win the green jacket, 20 years after Nick Faldo won his third and final Masters title. And, despite his brother's advice, Willett happily took the green jacket from Jordan Spieth.
