The Masters expert picks

The Golfing Gazette experts have made their picks for The Masters this week.

Jordan Harris: No one is in better form right now than Bryson DeChambeau. He also had chances to win the last two Masters. With that, I am cautiously backing the Crushers captain ahead of Jon Rahm and Cameron Young.

James Shearman: Jon Rahm seems like a no-brainer to me, with a victory already this season (LIV Golf Hong Kong) and five consecutive top-five finishes. The 2023 Masters champion excels at Augusta and has a point to prove this week.

Charlie Walker: Justin Rose has been knocking on the door to win the Green Jacket for so long, and this is the year that his consistency finally pays off. He already has a win to his name this season, and his experience is going to be key down the stretch on Sunday as he wins this wide-open tournament.

Peter Lynch: I’m predicting recent form and history to come together for Xander Schauffele this week. He’s on back-to-back PGA Tour top 5s, and has three top 10s from his last three appearances at Augusta National. It’s surely only a matter of time before he returns to major success.
