US MASTERS PROFILE

The young Spanish sensation made a wonderfully assured debut at Augusta in 1999 when his tied 38th place finish earned him the silver cup awarded to the leading amateur. No European had previously won it. Although he led after round one last year he eventually finished back in tied 40th so he's still to prove he can contend for all four days at Augusta. However, his excellent performances on American soil over the last two years, which have seen him rack up three victories, should act as a warning that he could suddenly come up trumps. Like compatriot Seve Ballesteros, he's the sort of inspirational player who can suddenly catch fire - especially at a venue like Augusta where a brilliant short game is often the crucial factor. His driving - both long and straight - will also be a vital asset and the lengthening of the course looks sure to suit him.
