Danny Willett reflects on his third-round 67 in Malaysia and gives an insight into what he is planning for the champions dinner at the Masters

One of the most popular traditions every Tuesday of Masters week is the dinner hosted by the defending champion in the company of previous Augusta winners, so what is Danny Willett planning in April?

Ben Hogan introduced the Masters Club Dinner in 1952 and it has proved one of the most popular evenings of the year for those privileged to own the famous Green Jacket, although outside of Augusta champions, only the chairmen of the most exclusive club on earth get to dine.

There have been a number of infamous offerings over the years, perhaps none more so than when 1988 winner Sandy Lyle served up the traditional Scottish dish of haggis, neeps and tatties.

The most popular choices include Ben Crenshaw's Texas barbeque, Jose Maria Olazabal's Tapas table and the burger, fries and milkshakes courtesy of Tiger Woods when he hosted the first of his four dinners in 1998.

After opening up a three-shot lead with a third-round 67 at the Maybank Championship, Willett admitted he has yet to decide on his menu for this year, but he has promised "a little bit of Yorkshire" along with "something American" to keep the natives happy.
