US MASTERS PROFILE

Monty has often wondered aloud if he has the short game excellence to win the US Masters and Augusta hasn't always been a happy hunting ground for him. In truth his record isn't bad with a tied eighth and two top 20s in the last four years. But it remains clear that the US Open, with its greater emphasis on accuracy, will always represent Monty's best chance of breaking his majors duck. Ironically, given his numerous run-ins with American crowds over the years, the Masters is the one US Major where he won't get heckled - the Augusta galleries know they would have their precious passes taken away for good if they stepped out of line. But even without unwanted distractions it's hard to make a strong case for the Scot. He's looked a shadow of his former self this year and despite being pleased with his new belly putter and making a hole-in-one in the BellSouth Classic last week his warm-up events in the States over the last month have been fairly unproductive.
