Current world No.6 Cameron Smith and 2013 champion, Adam Scott, lead the Aussie charge that this year sees something of a changing of the guard with three 20-somethings to make their debuts at Augusta National Golf Club.

Sydney’s Cameron Davis was the first of the debutants to secure the most coveted invitation in world golf when he won his maiden PGA TOUR title at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last July, Lucas Herbert adding his name to the invite list when he won the Butterfield Bermuda Championship in October.

The youngest of the Aussie contingent, Min Woo Lee had to wait until the final week of the Official World Golf Ranking in 2021 to have his place confirmed, ending the year ranked No.49 in the world to meet one of the Augusta National criteria.

He played a practice round with Scott on Monday and has the creativity and shot-making skill to make an immediate impression at The Masters.

The PGA of Australia and Golf Australia will have daily coverage and the official tournament website, masters.com, delivers a wealth of the most up-to-date and comprehensive coverage.

The television coverage on free-to-air and Fox Sports is also extensive with 9Gem and 9Now providing live coverage from the Par 3 Contest on Thursday morning AEST and all four days of the tournament.

I’ve addressed a few things in my golf game that are moving in the right direction.

I have fun with it, and I don’t put too much pressure on myself, and I think that’s important for me.”

Key stat: 32.35 per cent, Going for the Green – Hit Green Percentage (12th)
The quote: “I had a hit a couple of weeks ago, and it was a little slow, but seeing it at tournament speed has really brought the course alive. It’s a lot of fun. Just sitting there seeing everything you’ve seen on TV in person, that’s the biggest part. Walking down 10, seeing Amen Corner for the first time. It’s just knowing exactly where everything is and seeing it there in person with your own eyes, it’s a really cool feeling.”
