Steve Stricker - USA

Although Steve Stricker has not managed to complete four rounds on the Augusta National Golf Course at the US Masters since 2001, his resurgent form puts him firmly in the running this year. Steve is one of those golfing enigma's, who a few years ago had lost all semblance of form and was consigned to golfing obscurity. However a change in fortune put him back on the comeback trail and for the last three years Steve has featured prominently in the top ten of the World Rankings. He is yet to win a Major but has won eleven professional titles and has finished in the top ten of all tournaments played countless times. He is a consistent golfer who could easily win a Major if the time is right. He was 2nd in the PGA Championship in 1998. His record at Augusta is pretty dismal, but things can change:

• 1997 - Missed Cut.
• 1999 - Tied 38th.
• 2000 - Tied 19th.
• 2001 - Tied 10th.
• 2002 - Missed Cut.
• 2007 - Missed Cut.
• 2008 - Missed Cut.
