Gary Player (3-time Masters winner): "I have no idea but fancy the chances of Day, McIlroy & Speith. At least another 20 like Oosthuizen, Grace & Schwartzel."

Ewen Murray (Sky Sports Golf commentator): My outsider is Marc Leishman - he's underrated. My top tip is Rory. He's very close and a little agitated. Perfect heading to Augusta.

Robbie Fowler (former Liverpool and England striker, and keen golfer) : "I honestly haven't got a clue... Maybe Andy Sullivan or Danny Willett each way."

Kay Cockerill (Golf Channel commentator and former LPGA player): "If Day is healthy, why not make it 3 wins in a row? He's better prepared now mentally to win The Masters if in position."
