A surge from Sergio
Former Masters runner-up Lee Westwood has tipped Sergio Garcia to challenge Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Ludvig Aberg for glory this week.
Garcia won the green jacket in 2017 and has been in fine form on the LIV Golf Tour this season, winning in Hong Kong last month.
Westwood told talkSPORT: “I don’t think you can discount Sergio, the way he’s been playing at the moment, he’s in an incredible vein of form.
“I think it’s very much horses for courses around Augusta, that’s why you get so many repeat winners, you’ve really got to know the golf course well.
“So any previous Masters champion that is playing well and carrying a bit of form, I think he’s got a chance.
“I like Ludvig Aberg chances this week, he played well there last year. You can’t discount Scottie Scheffler.
“I don’t think Rory will ever have a better chance. If ever there’s a golf course that’s going to suit Rory, it ought to be Augusta.
“He’s just got that little bit of added pressure of it being for a career grand slam if he wins this one.”
