Watford — Reigning US Masters champion Danny Willett withdrew from the British Masters with a back injury shortly before he was due to tee off on Thursday. He was due to tee up alongside fellow Englishman Andrew "Beef" Johnston and Swede Alex Noren. A European Tour official indicated Willett had complained of back problems during Wednesday’s Pro-Am. His withdrawal led to South African Justin Walters, as first reserve, making his way into the £3m event.
