Every golfer arriving at Augusta National will step onto the confines ready to win the 2015 Masters, but hopes will be dashed for some soon after the start of play on Thursday.

With a powerful game off the tee and impeccable accuracy in his short game when he's locked in, Johnson can rely on natural talent and experience alone to contend in Augusta.

In past years, I wasn't real confident, but right now I am. I'm controlling my ball well, and if I just putt well, I'll be there on Sunday.
