McDowell now ready to master Augusta

GRAEME MCDOWELL believes he’s served his apprenticeship and is finally ready to contend for Major glory.

The 30-year old Ulster man has just one top-10 finish to show from his previous 17 major starts and that came in last August’s USPGA.

After topping the European challenge at Augusta last year, he’s convinced that he has the game and the patience to get in the mix on the back nine on Sunday.
