## Resource

Masters week is finally upon us and after a brief word about Sam's birthday and JJ Spaun vs Bob MacIntyre II, we focus on the first major of the year, beginning with how on earth do we follow McIlroy's grand slam win? With that dealt with, we talk trends and key stats and ask which of the many different preparations is best, before working our way through all the big names, from Scheffler, Rahm, Bryson and McIlroy to potential new major champions like Fleetwood, MacIntyre and Min Woo Lee. The debutants also get a brief mention before a suitably Masters-themed edition of Highest Bidder, and a word on a fun way to help raise money for charity by putting your knowledge to the test.
