Danny Willett deserves his due as Masters champion

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- History remembers the losers. History remembers the brilliant failures on the biggest stages. History remembers the men who held victory in their grasp, only to have it ripped away unforgivingly. History remembers the heartache and the sorrow and the agony of defeat.

Just as history remembers Roberto De Vicenzo signing an incorrect scorecard and Scott Hoch whiffing a 2-foot putt and Greg Norman suffering an all-day collapse, it will now remember Jordan Spieth. It will remember his epic meltdown, a quadruple-bogey on the 12th hole that turned a surefire victory into an agonizing implosion.
