Runner-up behind Zach Johnson last year, Goosen led until dropping a shot at the 12th and could not match the Iowan's hot streak over the stretch. Must be a very live contender this year after four top-three finishes in the last six years at Augusta and a victory in the Transitions Championship in Florida last month. He has the game and the touch on the greens to win and after coming so close so often, will feel Augusta owes him a Green Jacket (unfortunately Greg Norman felt the same). A truly global player, Goosen has won seven times on the PGA Tour (including US Open victories in 2001 and 2004) and he also won the European Order of Merit in 2001 and 2002. Not as consistent as he once was after forming part of the game's 'Big Five', Goosen can still be a dangerous customer once he gets the sniff of victory and his non-excitable personality is an ideal asset once the heat is on over the closing holes of a Major.
