Five players to watch at the Masters

Odds to win from Vegas Insider.

Jordan Spieth (7-1): They say Augusta National is built for bombers who hit high draws, but Spieth's worst finish in three starts is a tie for second. Still we wonder: Will he repeat history if he dares hitting a fade into the tiny 12th green?

Dustin Johnson (7-1): What's harder to believe _ that Johnson has won three straight tournaments or that he's unofficially listed as "questionable" after injuring his back stumbling on the stairs of his rental home Wednesday?

Jason Day (15-1): He will be everyone's sentimental choice, a friendly Aussie who barely fell short here in 2011 and 2013 and is drawing inspiration from his mother, who has lung cancer. Will good vibes trump the rust in his game?

Phil Mickelson (25-1): Which Lefty will show up _ the one who missed the Masters cut by one last year after a brutal second-round 79 or the Ryder Cup king who shot 17 under at Royal Troon in the British Open?

Matthew Fitzpatrick (65-1): Europeans traditionally thrive when the wind howls, and this 22-year-old Brit's game is tight. The former Northwestern golfer looks like he's 12 but showed maturity in posting a backdoor tie for seventh last year.
