Danny Willett's Brother Live-Tweeted the End of The Masters

What are big brothers for?

While Danny Willett was conquering Augusta, his brother P.J. was living and dying with each swing. Luckily for us, he tweeted his way through it all. The tweets alternate between supportive, incredulous, and oversharing, but they are all entertaining. We pick up the stream with a tweet from P.J.'s wife, Danny's sister-in-law. As you can see, the stakes were high, and not just professionally.

No pressure this weekend @Danny_Willett but we have put our house and life savings on a good finish from you #ThinkOfYourNephews

Then it just became a waiting game, as Jordan Spieth finished his round.

Spieth, you've won one before, wind your neck in.

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