Watch Alex Ferguson tell Danny Willett he had “eight grand on Spieth” to win the Masters

Even if he wasn’t joking, we suspect he could take the hit.

Danny Willett must have had one of the nights of his life celebrating his first ever major title after winning the US Masters at Augusta and there were plenty of well-known faces to help him toast an amazing victory. https://twitter.com/alanshearer/status/719494644820652032 Football legends Alan Shearer and Alex Ferguson were in attendance at Augusta and the latter was captured congratulating Willett by a BBC camera and joking with him that he had a sizeable amount of money on Jordan Spieth, whose challenge collapsed in spectacular fashion on the 12th hole. It's alright for someone with Ferguson's money, but a lot of average punters who had a wager on Spieth might not be taking it so well this morning.
