TOMMY IN WITH A SHOT

Harmon tips Fleetwood to become Master craftsman

- Neil McLeman

BUTCH HARMON has backed Tommy Fleetwood to win The Masters and become golf's new superstar.

Defending champion Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are the two hot favourites for the first Major of the season, which starts in Augusta on Thursday.

World No. 11 Fleetwood has yet to win on the other side of the Atlantic, but he has twice finished runner-up in Majors and recorded his best Masters performance last year, when he was tied third.

And swing guru Harmon, 81, believes the Ryder Cup hero is ready to join the greats after adapting his game for the "easiest" Major to win.
