Phil Mickelson is struggling this season having gone winless. Phil has had just one top-10 finish in seven starts for the first time since 2003 . He played last week’s Shell Houston Open where he finished a dismal 35th. While it didn’t earn him a sizable check, it gave him much-needed momentum heading into the season's first major. They try to make the Shell Open green’s as close as possible to Augusta National. Phil won his first green jacket back in 2004 and then a second in 2006. In 2007 he finished T24, in 2008 T5 and 2009 fifth. He has to been on top of his driving, Mickelson said. "I hit driver at every hole at Augusta except for one”. He has a great short game and can putt, if everything comes together Phil can have a third green jacket. He currently ranks 31st in scoring average on the PGA TOUR.
Ernie Els has two wins on tour and is a definite favorite to contend. Ernie won his last two consecutive starts , at the WGC-CA Championship and the Arnold Palmer Invitational to end a two-year drought in the U.S. This year, Els has confined his game to the U.S., and he thinks it might help him finally win at Augusta. After finishing no worse than sixth from 2000-2004 (including a pair of seconds), Els has missed his last three cuts at Augusta. So having two wins will boast his confidence in a big way and with all eyes on Tiger, Ernie can stay under the radar until final round Sunday. He currently ranks 1st in scoring average on the PGA TOUR.
