Faldo Looks to Southern Hemisphere for Likely Masters Winner
AUGUSTA, Georgia — Three-times Masters winner Nick Faldo, one of the best golfers to emerge from the Northern Hemisphere, has a feeling that a player from south of the equator is likely to triumph this week at Augusta National.
While reigning champion Jordan Spieth, fellow American Bubba Watson and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy are among the pre-tournament favorites for the year's first major, Englishman Faldo fancies either Australia or South Africa for success.
"I actually like a lot of the Southern Hemisphere boys," Faldo told Reuters when asked which players he felt were most likely to win this week's Masters.
