7. Henrik Stenson
One of the most skilled golfers in the world, Stenson doesn’t have a history of glowing play at Augusta — a fact he’s all to aware of.
“I know why I have not done well there yet, but I don’t want to go into too much detail as I don’t want to bore you or your readers,” he said, per The Telegraph. “The biggest factor has been that I’ve never really arrived here with my A game and simply have not been playing well enough to win.”
Unfortunately, he’s not been overly hot in the past month. But overall, Stenson is one of the hottest golfers in the world this season. Taking a look at his work on the European Tour and PGA Tour combined, he has three second-place finishes to his credit along with four top-10 finishes.
A long hitter who can reach the par-5s at Augusta in two solid strokes, he’ll have a chance to get the monkey off his back this weekend.
