Shane Lowry heads into his 10th Masters appearance on Thursday with his coach believing the world number 12 has all the attributes to take possession of a Green Jacket. The Irishman just needs to put it all together over four rounds at Augusta National.

The 38-year-old from Clara, Co. Offaly has been reacquainting himself with the hallowed Georgia course for a week already and Neil Manchip will follow his charge up Magnolia Lane tomorrow for the final phase of preparations with Lowry having reached the highest world ranking of his career to date having recorded four top-20 finishes on the PGA Tour in his most recent starts to add to the runner-up finish at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February.
