Five top tips to take for upcoming 2016 US Masters in Augusta

Watson may be a double Masters winner, but dramatically flopped last year for his title defence after ending up tied in 38th.

Danny Willett is top Englishman

Yorkshireman Willett has rapidly risen the ranks up to 12th, three places behind compatriot Justin Rose, after impressive showings including winning the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in February.

While Rose can still finish high, Willett’s price of 4/1 is the more enticing for him to be the best-placed Englishman, ahead of the likes of Paul Casey, Andy Sullivan, Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood too.

Bernhard Langer is top senior

German Langer, winner in 1985 and 1993, joins a number of seniors in the event this year including former champions Vijay Singh, Mark O’Meara, Ian Woosnam, Sandy Lyle and Larry Mize and is the 9/4 favourite to beat them all.

The 58-year-old’s main competitors are Davis Love III and Fijian Singh, but defied his age in 2014 when he came tied-eighth, and can carry on his fine form after recently claiming the Chubb Classic seniors’ tournament in February.

Justin Rose top 10 finish

As stated before, Rose is in the top 10 of world golf and has been one of the more consistent players in Majors over the last few years, which was capped off by his 2013 triumph at the US Open.

With three top 10 finishes last year, at the US Masters, Open Championship and PGA Championship, Rose is 2/1 to do so again.
