US MASTERS PROFILE
Singh comes to Augusta with a genuine chance of winning his second US Masters crown after gaining his first win for two years at last month's Shell Houston Open. Singh's victory at Augusta came just two years ago after he held off Ernie Els to win by three shots. It gave him a second major success after winning the USPGA Championship at Sahalee in 1998 and was reward for the efforts that have given him the reputation as one of the hardest workers in the game. Before his victory in 2000, his Masters record was only average with two missed cuts and nothing better than tied 17th in six starts. But that win proved he has what it takes and the lengthening of the course can only help him. Singh was tied 18th as defending champion last year so without the extra distractions this time he looks set to throw down a serious challenge.
