AUGUSTA: The big fish is what we all focus on and quite understandably. More so when their achievements set them aside not as mere fish, but as whales, who can swallow all opposition. The top three in this field - Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm - have put so much of a distance between them and the rest that if anyone else does get that Green Jacket on Sunday at the Augusta National Golf Club, he might look a surprise winner.
Yet, there are many others who come to the Masters with a dream of their own. They include the Saudi backed LIV league's 18 players, who are said to be on the wrong side of an arbitration case with the DP World Tour, and 18 debutants, a group that includes the likes the highly popular Sahith Theegala and Tom Kim, the kid who gushed at his first meeting with Tiger Woods, but whose records as a young pro he is gunning for.
