A week out from Easter and Australian golf has thrown all its eggs into four baskets, and each one of them is overflowing with possibility.

When The Masters welcomes the 2019 season of majors to Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday night, Jason Day, Marc Leishman, Adam Scott and Cameron Smith will carry the hopes of a nation.

It is a select few but due to Scott’s heroics in 2013 they are not burdened by an 80-year wait that hung over the likes of Greg Norman, Bruce Crampton, Jack Newton and all other Australians invited to make the scenic drive up Magnolia Lanee since Jim Ferrier first played the tournament as an amateur in 1940.

But while the odds of a second Australian victory may stand at 4-in-87 prior to Thursday’s opening round, a closer inspection shows that our chances are indeed much better than that.

Every Australian playing The Masters this week is a genuine chance of wearing the coveted green jacket come Sunday; here we break down why 2019 could very well be their year.
