After Round One, Willett's odds were as long as 50-1.
Today the Field, which included Willett and everybody not named Jordan Spieth, was favored to win at -160 heading into Sunday’s play. Though Spieth ultimately came back after a disastrous quadruple bogey on the 12th hole to finish 2nd, it was Willett who ultimately won the tournament.
