Harris County, Texas, USA
111-14 November 2021
Danny Willett will be looking to become the third English golfer to win the
Houston Open on November 14.
Paul Casey and Ian Poulter are the only English golfers to have won this tournament in 2009 and 2019 respectively.
Willett, who is best known for winning the first major championship at the 2016 Masters Tournament, is coming into the Houston Open in good form.

Currently ranked 115th in the Official World Golf Rankings, Willett won the 2021 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship by two shots ahead of Tyrrell Hatton and Joakim Lagergren last month.
It was his eighth win on the European Tour including the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai and BMW PGA Championship and Nedbank Golf Challenge.
The 2016 Masters Tournament remains his only win on the PGA Tour having recorded a top-10 at the 2021 Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship in March.
Willett will be looking to win his second PGA Tour event when he takes part in the Houston Open as he tries to emulate Casey and Poulter.

"It's been a good week. Things have been good. The results haven't really been there, but, you know, deep down inside things are pretty close," Willett said after winning the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
"And I've always said if I get a bit of a sniff, I'm usually all right. And today was a nice example of that. Scoring was pretty low on that front nine, and we were able to fend off a few guys and play real solid on the back.
"This is a big one. Yes, it's been a relatively average year. We said we'd scratch 2021 out, but fingers crossed now we've got six, seven events left till we put the clubs down at Christmas, and hopefully, we can push on a bit from this."
Curtis Strange and Vijay Singh are the most decorated players in the history of the Houston Open having won three titles.
