Civic reception for golfing hero

“I would like to say a huge congratulations to Danny Willett on behalf of the city of Sheffield.

“We are incredibly proud of Danny’s achievements, especially considering he started his golfing career on one of our council golf courses.

“The council plans to hold a civic reception in his honour, and award him a star on Sheffield’s famous ‘Legends’ walk of fame alongside other remarkable sons and daughters of this great city from Sir Michael Palin, to Jessica Ennis-Hill, to Helen Sharman. We think after all he has achieved, he deserves the accolade of legend.”
