Masters champion Danny Willett is a "star in the making" who has no obvious weakness in his game, according to former Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher.

Willett became only the second Englishman to win the Masters, after Sir Nick Faldo, following a dramatic final round at Augusta National which saw Jordan Spieth suffer a stunning collapse.

It was the first major title of Willett's career, but Gallacher is sure it will not be the 28-year-old Yorkshireman's last.

Scot Gallacher, who captained Europe in three successive Ryder Cups in the 1990s, said: "I think we have a star in the making in Danny. He doesn't seem to have a weakness in his game.

"This isn't a one-off.

"He's won tournaments before and he was No.12 in the world before the Masters."

Defending champion Spieth reached the turn in his final round boasting a five-shot lead but saw his dreams shattered by back-to-back bogeys followed by a quadruple-bogey seven on the 12th.

That unexpectedly boosted Willett to the top of the leaderboard, but Gallacher believes it was events the previous evening that also played a key role.

He said: "Jordan Spieth's collapse on Saturday evening, when he had a bogey and double bogey in his final two holes, that really opened the door for about 15 guys the next day.

"Danny was one of those players within striking distance. He grabbed his chance and good luck to him."

Meanwhile, three-time Masters champion Sir Nick Faldo believes Spieth will be 'scarred' by his shock collapse at Augusta National on Sunday.

Spieth took a one-shot lead into the final round as he looked to join Faldo, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus in winning back-to-back Masters titles.

But on the 20th anniversary of Faldo winning his third green jacket as Greg Norman squandered a six-shot lead after 54 holes, Spieth blew a five-stroke advantage with just nine holes remaining after dropping shots on the 10th and 11th and running up a quadruple-bogey seven on the 12th.

"This will scar him. This will damage him for a while," said Faldo, who saw Willett follow in his footsteps as the second English winner of the Masters.

"We're all in shock with what happened to Jordan. In '96 you got the sense that Greg was struggling, but it was bit by bit [Norman shot 78 and Faldo 67].

"What happened to Jordan it was so sudden, just bam. It was 10 minutes of golf. That's the harshness of it."

Spieth agreed that it would take him a long time to get over Sunday's dramatic events, with the world No.2 carding four birdies in succession from the sixth to seemingly gain total command of the tournament.

The 22-year-old failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker on the 10th and then drove into the trees on the 11th, before amazingly hitting two balls into Rae's Creek in front of the 12th green.

Birdies on the 13th and 15th kept the US Open champion's hopes alive, but a bogey on the 17th confirmed he would have to settle for a share of second place with Lee Westwood.

Spieth, who has now finished second, first and second in his three Masters appearances to date, said: "It's tough, really tough.

"Four birdies in a row and I knew that even par (on the back nine) is good by at least a shot and sometimes that makes it hard. You go away from the game plan and start playing conservative. A few weak swings and suddenly I am not leading any more.

"We still have the confidence that we are a closing team, we can close. I have no doubt about that ability. It was just a very tough 30 minutes for me that I hopefully never experience again.

"But boy, you wonder about not only just the tee shot on 12, but why can't you just control the second shot, you know, and make five at worse, and you're still tied for the lead. Big picture, this one will hurt. It will take a while."
