Five players who could put an early end to Tiger Woods's quest for a Grand Slam:
He's healthy and his game seems to be rounding into shape in recent weeks. He's hitting it long, and with some accuracy, has a brilliant short game and has confidence from winning two of the past four Masters.
The South African had a sub-par 2007 season but nearly won the CA Championship at Doral two weeks ago. The tougher the greens, the better he likes it and he's tied for third twice and tied for second in his last three Masters appearances.
The Irishman broke through for his first major triumph at the 2007 British Open, a huge boost for his confidence. He's had four top 20 finishes here, including a best-ever tie for seventh last year.
4. ADAM SCOTT
The 27-year-old Australian was supposed to have won a major championship by now, especially after tying for ninth here in 2002. He's got the long game and the short touch, but does he have the stomach for a back nine run on Sunday?
Sweden's best hope, he made a huge splash last year when he won the World Match Play championship, but hasn't done much since. In two appearances at Augusta, he hasn't been in the 60s in six rounds, but this may be the year this long driver at least contends.
