Nothing like a bit of self confidence, with world No.6 and former Masters champion Adam Scott believing he is the man to beat at Augusta this week.
Scott, with two US PGA Tour wins already this season, showed no sign of fear of the likes of in-form countryman and world No.1 Jason Day, Rory McIlroy or defending champion Jordan Spieth.
"I have to believe I am going to win this week and that no one else has a chance," said Scott, seeking to recapture the magic of 2013 when he famously became the first Australian to win a green jacket.
"I honestly believe you have to see it happening for it to happen and that was probably the difference in my career before I won a major.
"It doesn't mean it just happens but with some good shots and putts going in at the right time it can unfold that way."
Since taking down Angel Cabrera in a playoff in 2013, Scott was T14 in 2014 and at T38 last year.
But his optimism has risen thanks to recent back-to-back wins at the Honda Classic and WGC Cadillac Championship.
"It's huge coming in with confidence to any major, certainly here because you need your game to be on point here," he said.
"The confidence is a lot higher than last year.
"There was a lot of tinkering going on in the lead up last year but things look much more in place coming here this year and its been a calmer preparation."
Despite his recent victories, there are still questions as to whether Scott can handle the slick Augusta greens with the short putter.
But the man himself, who has lifted his strokes gained putting stat from 157th on tour in 2015 to 48th on tour this season, feels it will be to his advantage.
"I've said all along as soon as I get on this type of green, the faster quicker greens, I am going to putt better then slower greens," he said.
"The fast quick greens like back home at Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath - they are my favourite greens to putt on as well as here at Augusta. I think the rhythm of my stroke certainly favours this pace of green."
