Nick Pink, who took over at the helm earlier this year, told Sky Sports News HQ that the 28-year-olds victory at Augusta National may help to change the perception that golf is stuffy and old fashioned and not a game for the masses.Pink made reference to the way Willett, Britains first Green Jacket wearer for 20 years, used modern social media during his hour of triumph.
