Five to watch at the Masters

▪ Country: Australia

▪ World ranking: 1

▪ PGA Tour victories: 9

▪ Major championships: PGA Championship (2015)

▪ Worth noting: Day is coming off victories in the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Dell Match Play, and he has two top-three finishes in five appearances at Augusta.

Jordan Spieth

▪ Age: 22

▪ Country: United States

▪ World ranking: 2

▪ PGA Tour victories: 7
