Excitement before the start of the Masters is at its peak, and important figures of this sport give interesting predictions.
It seems that the biggest focus is on Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, golfers who are marked by many as favorites at this year's edition.
Rory McIlroy has been searching for the Majors title for 11 years, and many feel that he has never been in a better position than before this year's Masters.
His furious start to the season raises optimism that Rory could be superior in this tournament.
Butch Harmon shares his views
Butch Harmon, the American coach, had the chance to work with McIlroy before the start of last year's edition of the Masters, believing that Rory could complete his career Grand Slam.
Butch Harmon carefully analyzed the game of the 35-year-old, emphasizing that his dominance inspires optimism. In Harmon's opinion, McIlory has proven many times so far what qualities he possesses, recalling the training and the shots.
I think he has got a great chance this year,-he said, as quoted by Mirror.
You saw how well he has played in the last few weeks. He has already won twice.
What I worked on with him was shots from 150 yards in. He was hitting the ball left all the time. I wanted him to follow through and take the ball out of the air a little bit.
An example of all the work we did was when he won in the playoff at Jacksonville. That shot he hit on the 17th hole in the playoff into the wind, a flighted down 9-iron. It was just perfect."
Harmon pointed out that he worked the most on that aspect of the game with him, while in other aspects, Rory seemed to be already dominant.
"That is really what I worked on with him. The rest of his game was fine. He has gone on and done the work himself and he has done a good job."
The well-known coach stresses that Rory and Scottie are the main favourites, putting special emphasis on the two victories of the Northern Irishman. However, Butch is cautious, saying that Rory must remain calm when it matters.
