Justin Rose arrives at Augusta National Golf Club as the top-ranked player in the world and twice has played in the final group on Masters Sunday. Those are the top four players in the world at the moment, each a worthy pick at the 83rd Masters. There was a stretch — and it doesn’t seem that long ago — when Augusta National seemed a stage for only the familiar and the famous. From 2001 to 2006, a span of six Masters, Woods and Phil Mickelson won here five times. He’s been playing such great golf consistently week in and week out, I think contending will be a given.
