The brother of US Masters champion Danny Willett has caused a storm on Twitter after providing a humorous commentary online as his sibling stormed to victory.

Birmingham-based Peter Willett described golf fans' reaction to his tweets - which included a reference to a row with Danny over his childhood pet rat - as "surreal" and crazy.

Live tweeting from his home in Birmingham, the golf star's older brother began to trend on Twitter in the UK as the Masters neared its end at around midnight on Sunday.

Among Mr Willett's tweets was one which read: "Speechless. I once punched that kid in the head for hurting my pet rat. Now look."

He also said: "Green makes you look fat - refuse the jacket."
