Back to back Masters, isn’t this nice. After being able to enjoy the 2020 Masters in November, the tournament returns to its regular timeslot in April, with the blooming azaleas and pristine golf course. It certainly hasn’t been long since I’ve had to write a Masters preview but of course many things have changed in the world of golf since November.
First off, Jordan Spieth has not only found his game after a few years of struggles, but he now comes into the Masters as a recent winner on Tour and perhaps the odds on favourite to capture his second green jacket. Who would have predicted that in November (for the record, not me!). You have to think that Jordan is going to be in contention come Sunday, given his recent form and the fact that he’s a past champion, and has a great career record at Augusta National.
Beyond Spieth, I would have to think that the defending Masters champion, Dustin Johnson, will also be in contention, but that’s an easy pick. I like to think that Jon Rahm has a good chance of finally capturing his first major, so he’s my pick to win. But a couple of my darkhorse picks include Canadian Corey Conners, who will hopefully build off of his great play of late and top 10 finish in last year’s Masters; and Lee Westwood, who is also my sentimental pick. He’s played great the past two months, typically plays well at Augusta, and what a story it would be if he could cap off a great career with a green jacket.
No matter who is in contention, it’ll be great to watch another Masters, and I’m looking forward to the weekend!
