Step 2, pick 3 players in the Extrabet top-20 market with odds of 5/1 or longer. The reason that you place these with Extrabet is that there's no reduction for ties in their rules - so if your player ties with any other players for 20th spot then you still get full returns at the quoted price. This happens more regularly than you might expect! Place a level stake on each, i.e. £10, or whatever suits you.
Step 3, Go with our 3 selections below or use our Masters predictor model to work out those players who are most likely to finish well at a long price. Typically you need to be looking at outright odds of 150/1 or longer to get a 5/1 top-20 price although there's no hard and fast rule here, you'll need to check the price with Extrabet via this link.
Step 4, if any one of your 3 players finishes in the top 20 or a tie for 20th then you'll at least double your money!
On that basis, here are our 3 picks. If you have a different 3 why not share them with us on Twitter or Facebook via the links at the top of this page?

| Young John Merrick hails from California and comes alive on tough, classical golf courses. A ball striker by trade (currently 11th on PGA Tour) who has enough length and accuracy to contend on courses other players struggle on. A Nationwide Tour winner, Merrick has undoubtedly underperformed on the main PGA Tour. That said he finished 3rd at the Mayakoba in 2008 and 2nd in the Bob Hope in 2009. However his Major record underlines his ability. 5 appearances have gleaned 3 Top 10s, with a 6th in the US Open 2008, 6th here last year and 10th at the PGA last August. RESULT: M/C | ||||

Trevor Immelman | Best

| Rewind to April 2008. Trevor Immelman had the golfing world at his feet. The Florida based South African (we love South Africans at Augusta!) had just won the coveted green jacket and jumped to 15 in the World. Now he’s a justified 8/1 to finish Top 20 in 2010. I can’t give you any performances in 2010 that justify why he’ll go well this week, but we’ve seen flashes of form on his fightback from injury. The clue is in his favourite courses Quail Hollow, Four Seasons and Augusta. All classical tracks with fast Bent grass greens. I’m confident of a Top 20 this week. RESULT: T14 | ||||

Ryan Palmer | Best
8/1 Extrabet.

| Palmer would be easy to discount around Augusta. He has no Major form to speak off and could well be considered a journeyman. However you don’t win 3 tournaments on the PGA Tour without having ability and a decent level of mental fortitude. Analyse the Texan’s core game attributes and he ticks every box in terms of being able to play well at Augusta. Don’t be surprised if this year’s Sony Open champion pops up on the leaderboard with his new found belief that he belongs here. RESULT: M/C | ||||
