2022 champion Scottie Scheffler has been in brilliant form<\/span><\/strong><\/a> this season, winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational by five shots and seven days later becoming the first player to win back-to-back Players Championship titles at Sawgrass.<\/p>\n

Only a short missed birdie putt on the 72nd hole of the Houston Open cost Scheffler the chance of a third straight win and the world number one has rightly been made favourite for the 88th Masters at the kind of odds last seen for Tiger Woods at his prime.<\/p>\n

Scheffler\u2019s victory two years ago was helped by a yardage book given to him by Ben Crenshaw\u2019s former caddie Carl Jackson, who worked at Augusta National for 54 years.<\/p>\n

Crenshaw arranged a meeting between the pair as bad weather delayed the pre-tournament par-three contest and, four days later, Scheffler secured his first major title by three shots, despite four-putting the 72nd hole.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to expand too much on Carl\u2019s secrets in front of people but it was my third Masters and I sat in the back of the caddie house with Carl,\u201d Scheffler said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBen had suggested that I just sit down with him for a few minutes and he gave me a yardage book that had some of where I think he called it grain is, where some of the slopes are.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s just a yardage book that has some arrows in it. (But) I\u2019m not going to tell you where the arrows are pointing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something that I\u2019ll kind of review at night and I always look at it in the lead-up to the tournament just because there is kind of some weird stuff that goes on around the golf course.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n
