Jason Day and Adam Scott to lead the Aussie charge at The Masters

Thursday April 7 to Monday April 11 - 7mate and streamed on PLUS7 Live

Newly crowned world no. 1 Jason Day and 2013 winner Adam Scott head to the Masters at Augusta among the favourites to take out the coveted green jacket.

Day has risen to new heights recently after winning the World Golf Championships Match play final and the Arnold Palmer Invitational back to back, meaning he has won six of his past 13 tournaments.

Scott has also been in excellent form having taken out two PGA tour events already this year at the Honda Classic and World Golf Championships-Cadiallac Championship, as well as two runner-ups at the Northern Trust Open and the CIMB Classic.

Last year’s winner Jordan Speith is also likely to be in the hunt on the final day at this year’s Masters, while Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy will be in search of the only major to elude him to date.

Warrnambool’s Marc Leishman and Steven Bowditch are other Australians who will have the privilege of gracing the fairways at Augusta for the Master this year.
