US MASTERS PROFILE

Consistent Jim Furyk has started 2007 in inimitable style following a pre-Christmas boost of winning the Nedbank Challenge from an elite field in South Africa. Though Furyk has yet to win this year, he has bagged top 10 finishes in Hawaii, Pebble Beach and Los Angeles already. His Masters record boasts fourth places in 1998 and 2003 but his US Open romp later that year shows he is a tough competitor when in contention. A dry course would aid his below-average distance from the tee and the newly-toughened set-up from the fairway will bring his renowned accuracy with the iron clubs to the fore.
