The Top 10 in the Field for this years Masters according to ESPN.COM
1. Padraig Harrington The three-time major champion obviously has what it takes to make clutch putts down the stretch. He's playing well with a pair of top-10s in the past month and he has fared well at Augusta recently, with two finishes of seventh or better in the last three years.
Sure, his final-round 77 in Houston -- which included two doubles and four bogeys -- might have sent up a red flag, but Paddy has never been on top of his game prior to winning a major. Besides, would anyone else in the field look better in green?
T-5, 2008, 2002
2. Retief Goosen The Goose is back. From 2002-07, he finished in the Masters top three on four different occasions; at 41, he is now on top of his game once again, with two fourth-place results and two fifths already this season.
The two-time U.S. Open champion is renowned as one of the world's best fast-greens putters -- and yes, the surfaces at Augusta are a little quick.
2nd, 2007, 2002
3. Jim Furyk You may not remember it, since the tournament's conclusion coincided with the airing of Woods' first interviews of the year, but Furyk won for the first time since 2007 at last month's Transitions Championship.
He's never seriously contended at Augusta, but still owns a stellar record, with only one missed cut in 14 appearances and no other finishes of worse than 33rd.
4th, 2003, 1998
4. Phil Mickelson Listen to Lefty and you'll hear a man who's confident despite his results. The two-time Masters champion is a notoriously fast starter, but hasn't finished better than eighth in any of his seven tournaments so far this season.
Even so, he maintains that his game is coming together, a statement that was evidenced on the back nine in Houston on Sunday, where he rattled off six straight birdies.
Win, 2006, 2004
5. Lucas Glover The reigning U.S. Open champion hasn't competed at Augusta since 2007, but finished in a share of 20th that year. He's a much more improved, mature player now and should thrive in this atmosphere.
His game hasn't looked great lately, but remember: He wasn't very successful in his last few events prior to winning at Bethpage, either.
T-20, 2007
6. Tiger Woods While most observers believe it will be mindset and focus that could derail Woods in his bid for a fifth career green jacket, expect something more tangible to act as the biggest factor.
Since winning his last Masters title in 2005, Tiger has struggled with the flatstick here, though he's remained in the top six during each of the last four editions of the tournament. Don't be surprised if he finds a similar fate this time around, too.
Win, 2005, 2002, 2001, 1997
7. Lee Westwood There's no doubt this top-5 player has the talent to win a major someday, but you've got to question his chops while under fire; he's missed final-hole putts to reach a playoff on two separate occasions in the past two years.
Westy appears on his game entering this week, though, coming off a T-8 finish in Houston -- his second top-10 in his last three U.S. starts.T-6, 1999
8. Mike Weir The bad news for the 2003 Masters champion: If it rains, this might be too much course for him to contend. The good news: It's not supposed to rain, other than a possible quick thunderstorm on Thursday.
Weir maintains that his game is on the brink of a breakthrough and he always plays well at tough events, so this could be another big week for him.
Win, 2003
9. Ernie Els Many believe that the Big Easy -- who is the PGA Tour's only multiple winner so far this season -- should be enlisted as the favorite entering this event, but he's got plenty of demons at Augusta National.
Once believed to be a lock to someday shoulder a green jacket, Els' recent Masters results look like a McDonald's drive-thru order: MC-MC-MC.2nd, 2004, 2000
10. Jason Dufner Hey, we all know the entire leaderboard won't be comprised of superstars. Somebody has to be a dark-horse selection, so the pick here is Dufner, who is quickly earning a rep as one of the better iron players in the game.
With so much emphasis on second shots at this course, the first-timer could surprise some folks. After all, someone's gotta do it, right?
