RUNNER-UP CAN DUST HIMSELF OFF AND SECURE GREEN JACKET

DUSTIN JOHNSON’S biggest obstacle on his way to owning his first green jacket could be arriving at Augusta National in one piece.

His Masters record is impressive, with last year’s charge up the leaderboard to finish second behind Tiger Woods following his finishes of tenth, fourth and sixth in three previous three starts.

Don’t forget, though, he missed 2017 after falling down the stairs of his rented home on the eve of the tournament and he has just spent 11 days in a hotel room self-isolating because of Covid.

But DJ shook off any rust with a tied second at Houston on Sunday and is 9/1 with William Hill to soon have a new addition to his wardrobe.

Hills pay each-way on the top nine and Patrick Cantlay, a winner at Muirfield Village and its similar design, joins our portfolio at 25/1 while Brooks Koepka and Jason Day appeal at 16/1 and 35/1 respectively.
