Yorkshire's latest sporting superstar flew 4,000 miles to become a golf champion.

But the prized green jacket handed to Danny Willett as he clinched the Masters title at Augusta was from much closer to home.

After all, it was fashioned by textile firms just 25 miles from the champion’s home in Rotherham.

Sheffield-born Willett was wearing the finest Huddersfield cloth as he savoured Masters victory.

The super-fine fabric used for the iconic green jacket is woven by New Mill-based textile firm Bower Roebuck, dyed by Holmfirth-based commission dyeing firm DP Dyers and finished by Moldgreen-based WT Johnson &Sons.

Bower Roebuck sends the cloth to Savile Row bespoke tailor Henry Poole & Co for dispatch to the Augusta National Golf Club, which hosts the tournament.

The cloth is stocked and closely controlled by the club – even photographing the fabric is off-limits – but once they need a new jacket, it goes back to Henry Poole to be made up.
