Harmon: Tommy can win Masters and become golf's new megastar

- NEIL MCLEMAN

FLEETWOOD BACKED

BUTCH HARMON has tipped Ryder Cup hero Tommy Fleetwood to win the Masters Green Jacket - 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, starting on Thursday.

And Fleetwood, 34, has yet to win on the other side of the Atlantic.

But the world No.11 has twice finished runner-up in Majors and recorded his best Masters performance last year when he was tied third in Augusta.

And swing guru Harmon, now 81, reckons the Olympic silver medallist is ready to join the greats after adapting his game for the "easiest" Major to win.
